I'm moving to France and I've been reading up on putting French plugs on UK appliances and I noted that it is not uncommon for the live and neutrals to be switched on sockets. I also read that power surges are more frequent here and surge protectors are a good idea for sensitive equipment.
From my understanding surge protectors work by monitoring the live. So if the live and neutrals were swapped at the socket would devices be protected? I'm interested to know as I am intending to adapt UK ones and I was wondering whether they are different to French ones.
Can anyone help with the theory?
