What?s wrong with running 100 red wires, 10 blue wires, 4 yellow wires, 1 black wire, and 3 green wires into a box with out leaving a road map or installing a Halon system?

When I look at that I see money in my wallet and a work order that say ?take Advil before getting to the job?.

 

[steve66]

Red does seem to be the predominant color for wires here!!

And its just amazing that yellow was the only size wirenut they needed!!

Oh, and I appoligize for calling this person an electrician.

I'll need the dimensions of the room so I can calculate box fill.

Well, at least you don't have to count the green wire because it doesn't look like it is terminated

It was all I had.:grin:

It is better than what people usually call me.

It looks like LV wiring such as FA or irrigation.

I agree being we dont seem to have neutrals. No problem but i refuse to touch it.

Cruz,
I count 92 reds, and 3 blues. Where is the green one ?
Wonder about the conduit sizes required to pass this quantity of wires ?
Rough guestimation is 800 cu in box for these conductors, if #14 awg.
Just guessing.

Are you good at those 'guess how many jelly beans are in the jar' contests?

I did not count.

I put a purple dot on the end of what I think is a green wire.

Not sure what your talking about, I could get at least another doze conductors in there....

8" x 8" x 4" judging from the 4" square in the background.

That is possible. I didn't actually take this photo - one of the HVAC designers took it, and this jbox just happened to be in the photo. Although I can't imagine there would be that much of either wiring in this building. And I wouldn't put it past whoever did this, to use some other color for a neutral.
