You are not supposed to wire 3 phase equipment to a s pin plug... ever.
in the wire there will be brown, black & grey, these are the phase colours, the blue represents neutral, but in a four wire there shouldn't be a neutral as the left over colour will be an earth (yellow/green).
4 wire cables are designed for balanced equipment and require the offset phases in order to function, if they are wired into the same phase the motor it is designed to run will not move, and may burn out.
You will need to install a 3 phase 4pin socket at the right ampage for the machine it is designed to run.

You will have to add a ground wire to a close ground (cold water pipe), then use the existing ground for the neutral or white wire. hope i helped . D

Look at the position and colours of the existing 3 prong cord and how it is connected. Make a diagram. Coloured wires on the outside terminals white in the centre. From the centre wire terminal you will see a jumper strap that goes to the frame of the dryer. When installing the four prong plug this jumper is removed completely. The kit should have with it a grounding lug that connects to where the removed grounding strip attached to the frame of the dryer. This is the attachment point for the fourth green ground wire from the new dryer cord assembly.

Why are my 3 prong outlet installed upside down?
in the olden days, electrical engineers figured if you drop razorblade or pin between the receptacle and the plug, the metal will get in contact with the ground prong thus minimizing the chance of energizing a metal object. this is why most outlets in schools and hospitals are installed ' upside down". nowadays we install them 'downside up' to see a smiling face. ha ha.
