Sup /ohm/. I gutted a voltage stabilizer (placebo) that was freaking out and cutting off at random and just wired it to be an outlet (need plugs for some low-power shit like USB charger and home networking equipment, nothing too power demanding) by removing the transformer and IC board. This is what I ended up with. The PCB just connects to the sockets; neutral and earth solder straight onto the other side of the PCB. A wire for phase/live come out from under the right side of the PCB and is connected (with heatshrink for safety) to a 5A breaker with a red backlight for the switch, which wires into the wall. The dangling blue and brown wires are where the IC board used to connect to, I just wrapped them up in electrical tape and left it hanging for now

First off, dad's an idiot and wired phase and neutral backwards in my wall so I still get a voltage in the sockets even if the 5A breaker is off, thanks dad. The two M Y S T E R I E S are that the breaker backlight that isn't working anymore, and that when I flip the breaker open I still get 30VAC between what are supposed to be phase and neutral (according to my meter). I plugged in an old junk Ethernet switch and it's working fine, though. Any clue why the light's not working on the breaker or why I get those 30V between live and neutral even when the breaker's open?
