How to Identify Live, Neutral, and Ground Wires Using a Multimeter

Three identical red wires in a house install? This isn't a tutorial; it's a cry for help disguised as content. What's up next: How to test 400V with your tongue for that extra zing

neutral and earth/ground are usually at same potential and not easy to tell apart, in some cases connected together at your distribution box/board

why wrap your finger around the black one?

ELECTRICITY CAN KILL YOU!!! DO NOT F**K ABOUT WITH LIVE INSTALLATIONS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE SO LITTLE CLUE THAT YOU FIND THIS HELPFUL!!! And don't bloody start me on the missing colour coding.

...if all cables got same color then rip it out! I wouldnt trust anything from anyone else who didnt knew to put in proper colered cable.

Folks, don't be fooled. The account is from India, and they are also known for this.👇

You can also short the cables in pairs. The pair that do not go bang are the neutral and ground

Why not do a test of continuity?

Don’t be a pussy…just lick them like a 9 volt battery!!! 😇

ONLY IN PAKISTAN YOU RETARD

Neophytes should not get close to this, they are liable to wire something hot-to-ground and kill themselves or someone else.

Thanks

I like the tape.

This is an electrical installation that needs to be torn down and rebuild from the ground up.

Neutral and ground are connected to the same post in your electrical box.

Useful

Now do the same with the wires disconnected from the mains...

Just use your tongue!

😂🙈

I wonder if this method works with an analog multimeter?

Good insight
