I don't know of any universal power supply that does require a 
specific terminal to be "N" for function or safety.  That does 
certainly not mean they don't exist, but their utility would be 
severely limted because you could only do fixed installations in most 
parts of the world with them.  In any case, both AC input terminals 
should be isolated from case/earth.
