Yes I would agree "IF" you are sure about your mains polarity. I have seen mains boards wired reverse polarity at the suppliers end, ( this would mean a permanant live and a switched neutral at the end of any cable ) not saying this is common but with anything concerning electricty, BE SAFE RATHER THAN SORRY. If you are not sure then don't do it,
Can't see it
Can't hear it
Can't smell it
Can't taste it
( Normaly )
But boy it packs a punch
