Thats not even that bad. All the wires are insulated so no danger of shorts. If you put some kind of cover infront of the whole thing, it would probably be fine.
Top right... Wire that comes from the top of the left breaker probably used to go to the right breaker is hanging in mid air. That's the one most likely to change someone's life.
Context: I'm kinda tall at 1.81m. At least taller than they are.
I remember going to one of my neighbors... I was slightly sleepy and tired.
They asked me to get something from their pantry and I entered it without care...
When I walked back out, I realized that while going in, my hair brushed against an exposed, uninsulated, fucking 220v wire going to their light bulb which was hanging just above the door, kept in place by a single screw, with the cable and bulb just hanged off of it...
It almost looks like it might be a transfer switch setup for something like a generator vs main power. As long as everyone knows the correct order and specific switches to flip. It’ll work….

Yeah the electrons are happy. It's grounded, by which I mean it's not allowed to go out with its friends

I've totally seen worse. Farmer jackleg electricianing can be real spooky.

Looks like it has electrical tape on it but not sure
laranis@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 204d
Ahh, yeah, maybe. Looked like exposed copper to me but it might be covered.
All good then!

Why was there 220 powering a lightbulb?
dogdeanafternoon@lemmy.ca · 18 pts · 204d
Probably cause that’s the standard mains voltage for the majority of the world.
87Six@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 203d
Yea as the other person said, that's just the AC voltage here (Romania, I think it may be the same across EU)

3 breakers? thats quality eletric installation! I am stuck with one for the whole house
village604@adultswim.fan · 2 pts · 204d
At least you have a main cutoff. I have all the breakers and no way to kill power to the panel.
filcuk@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 204d
Never heard of wire cutters? 🙄

There's fizzy water on-hand to douse an electric fire.
What's the problem?
