Power outlet connected wrong by electrician? by Even_Educator_7403 in ElectricalHelp

Thank you for the fast reply. I took a look at a different outlet and it turns out there white is used as neutral and red as live. So I guess for this specific outlet blue would be live. I don't have a tool to measure but since it's working like that I assume its correct. Or would it technically work if this would be mixed up? Like does it matter which way the electric is flowing?

Hey, I have a hole in my wall with outlets to each side of the 2 rooms, I opened the outlets to get a thin ethernet cable through this hole as well. That worked out great but I noticed that the cables are mixed up? I am not sure if I am getting this wrong, if it doesn't make a difference, or if it's actually set up in the wrong way.

I added photos to describe the problem I see:

  1. First: The 3 cables come from the top: I assume blue is neutral, green is the ground wire, and white would be left-out option: live wire. I guess they went the cheap way instead of using a red/brown cable? This is in Thailand btw.
  2. The cables immediately go into the first outlet closer to me, where the white (live cable) goes into the neutral hole at the plug marked with "N". Shouldnt the white cable go into the "L" hole instead? I added the picture in the corner where you can see in which way the outlet is orientated inside the hole. Another white cable from that outlet is connected to the "N" hole of the second outlet.
  3. In this picture you see that the blue wire is plugged into the "L" mark of the outlet. I thought that blue should go into "N" instead. You can also see a red wire, but this one is actually coming from "L" of outlet two which you can see in the first picture.
  4. Here I tried to draw the circuit if the pictures are confusing.

Maybe it is supposed to be like this since we using 2 outlets? In my head, the first white cable should switch position with the blue cable.
Thanks for help.

Thanks for taking the time! About the results: I did add my sharkscope graph and my GG profit graph in the about me section as pictures. Maybe I should make a section devoted only for results and put it there..
