Hi all, have came across the figure eight AC power lead on many appliances and as it can be fitted either way polarity must not be an issue. Why is this? Could someone explain?
Has the changing polarity of the AC power got something to do with it, going positive negative depending on frequency.
Is it just possible to change polarity on some AC circuits but not all, I know that reverse polarity on a motor will change direction, but when it comes to electronics could AC polarity reverse cause damage?
