It is happening here at my home also. i am living in bangalore, india. Here the wire man electrician are not knowledgeble. So they just connect two wire to the home connection of two wires. They never check for hot line and neutral line.
But it is working for all the devices except some electronics devices such as DC adapter. Now a days adapters are made without using Transformers. So when i connected to these adapter i am getting mild shocks, as per my understanding the hot line is directly coming through the earth connection of the adapter. Is this right?
Is there any solution for this. In my room where i am doing my electronics work, i interchanged my junction board to hot and neutral connection. Is it the right solution.
This way i can see the Spike buster box led showing correctly, where i still getting the small shock from those adapters.
