Re: Changing plugs on electrical equipment

Thanks LR, this could be a life saving bit of info!

Thanks for all the other answers. Good idea on the power strips - that should save a bit of plug changing!
I can say that connecting the neutral to earth can have many surprising effects....like:

- turning your kettle on - all lights go off
- trying to change a lightbulb on an outside light and yelping when you're energised (NB. you don't conduct enough current to cause the fuse to trip!)
