Reverse Polarity (1 Viewer)

[Barclaybasher]

Not been mentioned for a while
Just on a French campsite now with nothing better to do.
Solars packed up so I'm on hook up.
Had a polarity checker (and a made up reversing lead) - checked a 3 pin plug in the van 'L & E Reverse' - put the reversing lead on - 'CORRECT"
Now tell me it doesn't matter....
...and I've not been gassed yet

 

[pappajohn]

OK you asked........IT DOESN'T MATTER !!!

 

[pappajohn]

But a question.....
Did you reverse just one side of 0v or both sides ?

 

[Richard n Ann]

L&E were reversed?.. Nothing would work and the outer metal of things would be live! I think you'd need more than a polarity swapper

It says L & E but it must mean L& N

L & E reversed, equals much smoke.

 

[pappajohn]

L & E reversed would trip the sites distribution board before anything was plugged in.

As long as it's free

Reversed polarity is only a problem if your grey water drain is left open.

 

[bigtwin]

Wow, that just goes to show, it doesn't matter!

I don't know what you are talking about.

If your polarity is reversed, all the electricity will be sucked out of your MH and extract every last electron from your batteries.

I think you are being very, very silly. Go and stand in the naughty corner.

assuming 50 hertz as normal, polarity reverses 50 times a second. L and N reversed isn't reverse polarity.

Can I come out of the corner now. I've been here all night

Ok, but you must promise to be a good, or next time you will have to go and see the headmaster.

 

[movan]

@Astro yes and stop frightening the ebbeee jeebies out of me!

 

[SpeedyDux]

To be on the safe side, you must keep your wellies and rubber gloves on at all times.

@movan I'll try to be a very very good boy from now on. Promise

L and N reversed isn't reverse polarity.

Come up with a good easy to use name instead.

Is that all?

 

[pappajohn]

Reversed polarity would see penguins at the arctic and polar bears attacking the research stations in Antarctica..

How about "reversed L and N"?

Fewer letters too!

Does what it says on the tin!

Does that mean your fridge makes everything warm and the toaster freezes the bread?

 

[movan]

Ah. ..now I understand it. So I'm really a man?

 

[Barclaybasher]

Like I said I had nothing better to do ....but at the same time, same site when I went to connect the lead to what looked like a modern UK socket I lifted the flap to see a 'male' - (sorry Joy @movan ) earth prong sticking out.

Having brought my UK 3 pin mains lead I then needed a 'Continental' 2pin adaptor - which I had (smart ar$e me)

So I got connected with correct polarity...
