Hi, I was wondering if it is safer to break both live and neutral wires with a switch, instead of the live wire. Is there any disadvantage by doing this?
One accident that might happen is if the neutral wire is somehow electrified, you switch off one room, that only kills the live wire, and the neutral is still connected to the rest of the circuit.
By killing both neutral and live in a switch you make sure that you broke any possibility of current passing by any cable.
