I generally agree with the caution you are suggesting, but your tone is a bit agressive. OP was just sharing his experiences why he thinks it's fake, and his reasoning is sound, BUT anyone who has ever worked with electricity knows never trust the person who worked on it before you.
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.
Fair enough
