My fan heater packed up, so I checked the plug fuse.Â* It was ok, but the
power cord has two wires, a green insulated one to neutral and a white

Where is that used?Â* I guess the heater was from Lidl being branded
'Silvercrest'.

BTW, it's working again now - sticky tilt switch.

White is used for the live side in US mains cables.

And red is used for earth in Japanese cables. I kid you not.
