US polarized AC plugs


rainnea
 

Hi All,

I've just received a couple of Bosch routers from the US,
they have polarised plugs, ie. two spades, one wider than the other,
could any of the US members tell me which is the Live and which is
Neutral ? Do any of the UK members know where I can get some suitable
sockets ?

thanks,

Rab Gordon

Rab,
The wider of the 2 is the neutral. The way I've always remembered is-
wide-white-silver. In other words the white wire goes to the silver
screws on the receptacle which is the wide plug.
