That is not quite the principal the Elfix works on, although in the end it is about hot/neutral orientation. Because you cannot easily determine what happens to polarity inside the box, their idea is that one orientation of the plug would result in less of an EMF being generated by the box. The little gizmo measures intensity of the magnetic field generated, and you change orientation of the plug at the wall to find out which way generates the least reading. I played with it long time back and did find on some of my components plug orientation really did produce markedly different readings on the Elfix. Other components it made no difference at all with plug orientation.
