Non electrician here (no sh1t!)
Have bought a new USB plug socket from Screwfix hoping it might be a simple swap.
On the new socket I understand the the two red wires are LIVE and go in the L slot and the two black ones are NEUTRAL and go in the N slot and the yellow/green cable goes in the E slot but the instructions then talk about more earth cables going to 'functional earth' which I don't understand.
Any tips appreciated!
