Discuss How common is reversed polarity? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
PC I’ve seen lamps with the polarity crossed and it makes the screw in base live and the tip is the neutral which makes the whole metal frame of the lamp energizedLooking over the best practice guide to electrical inspection condition reporting the C1 "danger present" conditions are basically exposed live parts or reversed polarity. I guess the seriousness of reversed polarity is the lack of any meaningful over-current protection for faults to earth.
This forum's thread on dodgy pictures has several examples of exposed wires, etc, but how often have any of you seen a case of L & N swapped at the consumer unit?
