    Yeah I’m intentionally being aggressive because were not talking about mundane things like the best way to cook a Turkey or beat a video game. We’re on a public form where the reader could be anyone. If some kid stumbled on this and picked up that wire color is a good rule of thumb to use when judging differences in voltage potential I think you can imagine how catastrophic that could be.

    But I’ll hop off this soap box now. I personally prefer being on the safety guys bad side, not agreeing with em.

      You should read some of my other responses with regard to electricity.

      Never mess with energy sources.

      I work with electricity in an industrial setting, safety is paramount. I know this is a public forum, but it isn’t like Facebook or tiktok here, the average lemming has a little more age and intelligence.

      Maybe I should have put a disclaimer at the bottom of my post “don’t mess with electricity kids, that shit will fuck you up”.

      As a side note, there is also blue wire in the picture, this could be a 3 phase board.
