"The Argentinian plug also has active & neutral the opposite way around to Australia/N.Z. Maybe this ties in with the item I mentioned elsewhere about the Aussie/Kiwi plug not having the active/neutral positions defined at one time. Presumably Argentina also decided to define them and ended up with the opposite scheme."
Paul - Could you please point me in the direction of the thread you mentioned or possibly elaborate some more. It appears outrageous that a polarised plug and socket system can be designed and the polarities are not fixed up front.
