Hook-Up Cable Wiring

You’re not alone on that one. I have two leads a long lead on a reel and a shorter one that I normally use. Although the lead was about four years old, I hadn’t needed to use it, as the shorter one normally was long enough. When I did I also discovered that one end had the line and neutral reversed.

Thanks for the responses. After doing a bit more digging online, I suspected that it may be a reverse polarity cable that I know you sometimes need on the continent. But I've just checked the other end of the cable at the female socket, and it is the same, the Brown goes into the Neutral contact and the Blue goes into the Live contact, so it's not reverse polarity. I guess as long as the cable colours match at each end, it will work ok, so this one is probably just down to whoever made up the cable getting their colours mixed up I suspect!

It would good idea to check the socket at the caravan end of the lead to see how that is wired, I away's carry one of those mains tester plugs in the van
