Here blindy :
About safety : Of course it isn't, as the box is open and wires are exposed.

Okay, Gregtech needs Standard Projectors. But they need to have a name making it sound like they are a holodeck-in-a-box and require materials as if they would be a fusion reactor in a spaceship out of chromium carrying a whole planet that's inculded in the price! Anno 2070's "3D-Projectors" can't be the most overpriced, overnamed possible projector in gaming history, can it?! -

You guys must be tired of me complaining, but i'm just posting it bcuz i got my energy cut for some hours because of that problem and the fact that this thread is completely random, so i can post anything i feel like.

Holy Fuck, SpwnX. Was their water/moisture getting into the panel box? It looks like something inside the connection of where the wires meet the circuit breaker burned up, and caused a trip. Can't really tell if that 'something' was of material already built in the panel, or something that managed to get in there. Usually, breakers are rated to tolerate that sort of thing, but idk what the electrical codes are like in Brazil.

It was the Residual Current Device (that big thing that was burned in one of the holes) that was defect and a mistake on the wiring.
It failed to cut the energy, alongside the two cables shown on the picture being "misconnected" (the two cables were actually on that same burned hole, instead of being separated), according to the electrician. The Residual Current Device, that metal thingy that was also burned which name i don't know and the two wires got replaced. 190 bucks.You can see the whole box (with the damaged RCD) on a previous post.
Thankfully, it is fixed. If i had waited some days longer, it would have catch fire and the results would be tremendously disastrous.

At least you still have rubber insulated wire. My house used to have material covered cables, with 240V going through them. Oh, and bell wire designed for 12V running a 240V light.

I thought Cable Frying was broken at the moment? Kappa

We had cables in our house, with 240V running through them like all UK live wires do, that were insulated with JUST cloth essentially. We also had a light, with it connected using bell wire, which is low voltage cable designed for door bells. Definitely not lights. -
