RE: Really Victor? I didn't know that..

Just curious,if the hot and neutral are reversed would not the chassis on the component have voltage going through it and be a hazard?

The neutral conductor is a current carrying conductor and is never connected to the metal chassis, case, or frame of a piece of equipment.

The main service neutral conductor is connected to earth and bonded to the service equipment enclosure. The neutral shall not be connected to earth at any point thereafter per NEC Code.
