[QUOTE="Bruspark, post: 490693, member: 20106"] I’ve seen a few interesting cases where Chinese and other manufacturers design and produce stuff for the ‘non polarised‘ EU and other markets and don’t let our little island’s funny polarised system bug them too much. Just sling in the pretty coloured external cable and ship it. Mostly double insulated. One was was earthed metal cased equipment. It’s not really possible to say this was immediately dangerous in either case without testing and analysis of exactly what they’ve done where and what other incoming or outgoing connections exist but it could be called a hazard to repair /adjust I suppose, In one case reversing L and N clearly made better use of pre cut mains cable length ... However as we are not manufacturers what do we know and what can we say ? [/QUOTE]
