Thinking of wiring half of one of my outlets in my shop to turn off with the lights. Leaving my battery charger for my cordless tools plugged in scares me and forgetting to plug it in ticks me off when I need a fresh battery.
I know I can run a single hot wire from a light box and to the oultet and use the neutral as shared between the light operated socket and the rest of the outlets. Since they are on different legs any additional current run through the charger would cancel the same amount of current running through the other sockets in regard to the shared neutral (no worries of overloading an unprotected neutral). My question is, if the neutral were to somehow lose connection with the neutral bar wouldn't that fry everything on that circuit? Essentially making the lights 220v? Also, I am guessing that the low Earth potential of the neutral keeps the power from back feeding the hots and making them 220v, is that right?
