Vacuum pump connections

[r896neo]

I have a recently aquired medical grade piston vacuum pump that i intend to use for vacuum bagging.

It has however arrived with no flex It simply has 3 Wires.

1. Bare ended green and yellow which is obviously earth.

2. Crimp ended brown wire which i presume to be the live

3. Crimp ended White wire which by process of elimination must be the neutral.

Has anyone come across white sheathing in a similar type of appliance?

Can anyone confirm the obvious assumptions above are correct before i put a flex on and destroy it by assuming wrong?

It is essentially a single phase electric motor pump and the only other wiring visible is to the start capacitor but it is blue and terminates inside the unit which I obviously dont need to worry about.

If noone can confirm the colouring how best should i go about testing it? Can i test continuity between the capacitor terminals and the wiring or any other ideas. dont really want to take it apart too much if i can avoid it.

Thanks. Oh and mftr is obselete, this is a new old stock unit that has been sat in a warehouse. It was labelled as previously destined for the NHS trust in Glasgow so was EC conformed i assume.

1) Are you are this is a 230v appliance? look for a data plate somewhere

2) Is it definatly brown and white? not black and white?

Does it have a terminal box you can open, or is it "sealed" with just these wires sticking out ? If there's a terminal box, then open it and have a look at what's inside.
