There must be a UK electrician proud of this:

Supposedly a picture tells a thousand words.

Feel free to pick the bones out of this abomination.

They were considerate to leave convenient places to connect voltmeter probes. :lol:

Was this a poor attempt at re-identifying the conductors?

 

[zbang]

That's, uh, creative. (Love the name of the photo, too.)

 

[ptonsparky]

Does it work?

It could be as simple as someone forgot to put the heat shrink on.

All I know is that they changed their wiring color codes a few years ago so I would expect that is an attempt to re-identify the conductor colors. What is actually permitted when doing this? I have no idea.

We're talking 230-240 volts here, common. :roll:

I'm talking frequency here.

 

[mbrooke]

I'm talking frequency here.

1,800 RPM wears out the bearings, 1,500 is more like it :thumbsup:

Those conductors look awfully short, and the repair job on the insulation looks terrible. Hack work is hack work no matter where in the world it is.

I'm talking frequency here.

Just not the right one.

I’m really hoping this was not an electrician but here is an entry.


On a side note that red #6 is feeding a 200 amp Main.

Just not the right one.

I'm incorrect with regular frequency.

How does this sound like 60Hz to you? :blink:

49.95. Running a bit slow, I'd say.
