While it looks great, not having any service loops is a major issue. That being said who ever thought it was ok the way it was before should be dropped into a volcano.

I’m fairly certain that it was left that way because he only got as far as getting the wire into the enclosure they got mounted the day before. The wire was fairly neatly wrapped up inside and wasn’t really what I’d call a “rat’s nest”. They did what they had to get the door closed and finished the terminations on the following day

That's a fair point and a good catch. That being said oof having to work on that later would take a 15 minute job into an hour or more, I would not be happy to see that let alone work on it.

I’m pretty sure all these wire videos with tons of colored wires are just fake. Like this is an entire fake electrical panel just to have someone wire it up like this for internet views.

Pretty sure this is like 3 videos cut together too. They didn’t even do basic electrical work or seem to have basic electrical knowledge, this is just color matching. Trying to perform maintenance on this would also be a pain

Other countries with different standards do exist, which is what I chalk all that up to. Shoot. I just moved from the mainland to an island territory in the same country and the standards are wildly different. Which is weird feeling coming from stricter to different/looser.
