Look at the workmanship I ran into today

New color codes:

Green for ungrounded
Green for grounded
Invisible (or striped invisible) for grounding

:happyno:

The way that cord is wired is a 'suicide cord', I'd bet the male end is plugged into a receptacle to backfeed a building.

I never understand why electricians are so focused on how others do this work.

Others bad electrical work is job security for me.

I don't see the problem.

I see green wires. Green wires are for ground. Therefore, the circuit is grounded. With a redundant ground, 'cause there's TWO green wires.

That makes it totally safe.



Right? :huh:

Me neither- as horrendous as this "work" is- no fire or even burned conductors, no melted wirenuts, and no report of shocks from said hack storm.:D

We can knock them for being hacks, but their zany and idiotic creativity is still admirable.:happyyes:

We're they coming back to finish this. Or this was the finish product to the customer.

After miss diagnosing the problem with the circuit three separate times and charging the customer $2,200 the customer lost confidence told him he'd find someone else

That's the story I got

If all of the conductors (both phase and neutral) are grounded the circuit will be electrically as safe (and as useful) as a brick. :)
