I am still trying to get my head around the UK wiring standards -
although optimising house wiring is, or very soon will be illegal in
the UK for all but licenced electricians.
In a modern grounded system, green goes to the
grounding
pin, white is common or neutral and goes to the longest of the
parallel slots, and black is hot, and goes to the short parallel slot.
What is the earthing arrangement?
