Incorrectly Wired Plugs Could Potentially Kill! Check your Plugs!
On Monday I had a chap bring in his amplifier, he was having some trouble getting it working.
Whenever we get any items in, we ALWAYS check the plugs to make sure they are wired correctly before we start doing any other work.
We found that the plug was wired completely wrong with the neutral fitted to the earth pin!
This was not the cause of the fault on the unit, but could potentially cost someone their life!
Please see the image below for how a plug should be wired correctly, and remember, if in doubt, ASK A PROFESSIONAL.
