However, if a plug is 'neutral' on one pin, and 'live' on another (or phase / AV or whatever), surely there is a simple way to check this? From an electrical point of view it is quite important, otherwise your domestic switches might be switching the neutral, rather than the live wire, which might be problematic when changing a light bulb. Can't this be tested with a multi-meter? To be honest, a collapse in sound stage is bad, but one of your loved ones being electrocuted when changing a light bulb is worse!
We have these little screwdrivers in hardware stores. We call it 'Phase tester'. They have a lightbulb in it that lights up when touching a live-wire. It's for 1or2€
