Is my thinking correct

[Negita43]

I have two questions today but will post them as separate threads.

1. Today I recieved an extension socket from Lazada - on testing it with the socket tester it showed that the live and neutral were reversed.

I understand that this won't affect the functionality of the device BUT am I right in thinking that when switched off it will switch the neutral instead of the live.

In all other respects the lead is exactly what I need, so If so, I will attempt to dismantle it and rewire it. ( I'm not worried about the warranty as I haven't found Thai warranties to be worthwhile).

Check where the live cable from the plug goes to inside the extension, either by colour or an AVO.

Lazada sure didn't manufacture that thing.

Who is the manufacturer? A brand name company?

Personally I think anything which is possibly dangerous and/or important, like medical devices, should only be purchased from reputable companies. And then there are usually no problems.
