i have a charger plug that i can easily plug into a extension cord backwards, without the earth connected. just curious about what it could do if i actually plug it in
In: Technology
It may not even work, some electronic devices need the correct pin to be in the hot side. If it does work it’s probably not going to damage the charger, but could damage whatever you are charging with it. Or it just might work fine. However, you would be by-passing a safety device and that could be dangerous. Up to and including making the entire case of the charger “live” (probably not, but possible)
TL;DR It’s a bad idea. It could kill you. It could destroy itself. It could be fine. 1 out of 3 are bad odds.
