Have you ever tried to measure the voltage between ‘Hot’ and
concrete floor, or measure the voltage between ‘Neutral’ and concrete
floor? You will get nonsense value with above testinF. ‘Hot’ and
‘Neutral’ were just a relational signal, so you will get the AC110V or
AC220V by measure those two signal. Normal mode and common
