Changing Us/european Plugs For British Ones - Identifying Wires
29 Answers
I am changing a 2 pin plug for a 3 pin on a hard skin remover gadget.
However, there are only 2 wires and they are the same colour.
its kind of like speaker wire... a bit thinner than a normal wire containing a thinner brown and blue wire.
They're both white and the only difference is all along the edge of one is various words and numbers etc, and on the other there is a thick grey broken line
like this ___ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____
can anyone tell me which is live and which is neutral?
thanks

Sorry I can't find a way to explain it more simply.
Remember Volts x Amps =Watts
So for a UK kettle 240 x 13 =3120 watts
US kettle 110 x 13 = 1430 watts
So less than 1/2 the power and takes more than twice as long to boil the same amount of water!

for DC: Volts (the ability to push electrons around the circuit) = Amps (a measure of how much movement is occurring) * Ohms (the resistance of the circuit to having a current passing through it). Or in short V = I * R
Known as Ohm's Law.
It similar for AC with some modifications.
The higher the voltage the more current you get for a set resistance.
The higher the resistance the less current you get for a set voltage.
