Chao Lao Beach Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Had a motor I used to use on a grinder in Thailand. I have it with me in Australia at the moment. The Earth is clear, didn't actually have a Earth when bought in Thailand, but I earthed it, does it mater if the Live or Neutral is mixed up. I don't think it does matter. Does it burn the engine out or anything? Oz being 240v, it should be OK eh? Thanks folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chao Lao Beach Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 The following has a point re where the switch should be wired. It is a on off switch, like a light switch, (literally). The colors on the current plug are opposite of what one would expect.

Crossy Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Swapping L & N won't make any odds, so hook it up so the switch is in the live side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
