Well bad practice meet reality. These look like relays/contactors of some sort so it’s probably a piece of equipment that who know who put it together. Got a bunch of yellow wire and building a piece of equipment that you and you alone will be servicing? Fuck it, let’s use up this wire…
Based on this picture alone your assumptions are quite dangerous and could easily lead to you or anyone reading this replacing that small mammal pictured. To think you could assume anything based on wire color in this photo is insane to me.
What do they have going on with those green wires? Since their all green why didn’t they just tie them all together with a wire nut? Same with the yellow wires! Since their the same color they must be about the same thing… But what do i know, red cars are fast.
If you want to predict based based on color be my guest, but don’t assume shit when it comes to unknown electrical boxes. Shit will fuck you up at the speed of light.
Pic could be fake for other reasons, but wire color?!?
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.
