Hello, electronic noob here
You may or may not know that EU plugs can be inserted into the socket in 2 ways. This means the live and neutral can be on either wire. I want to know if there is a device or circuit that can separate the live and neutral and always output them on the same wire.
(https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32957289394.html) This power meter can supposedly only function if the live wire is inserted in port 4 and the neutral in port 3, but since a EU plug can be reversed this is obviously a problem.
I've attached an images to illustrate the issue. Purple is either live or neutral. "M" is the magical device that separates live and neutral. "P" is the power meter
