As long as there is one ground fault protection service, it’s safe right.. right?

TikTok strikes again with whatever in the world this is.

Just arrived in my hotel room

Mehdi's bad influence on me: First thing after arriving in the hotel room: Find and check the breaker box. Result: They have RCD protection here XD

This needs some explanation...

Basically what the guy is saying is that first he plugs his air fryer in and turns on the switch, which turns on the air fryer, which is fine. Then he mentions that his light is actually broken and causes his MCB or circuit breaker to pop every time he turns the light on .so, he taped the switch of that light. Yet later when he plugs his water heater into that plug and turns it on, it also turns his light on although the actual switch of the light is turned off. At the end , he is just confused and asks for someone to explain what's going on.

Who needs safety gear when you have a $0.50 neon tester and sheer confidence?"

Testing live single-phase mains (~230V AC) with nothing but a cheap screwdriver tester and a dream.

(And before the comments roast me: yes, I know domestic line-to-neutral is ~230V, but the spark factor still feels like 440V line-to-line energy!)

No FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER, no rubber gloves, just pure chaotic switchboard energy and a tiny orange glow keeping me company.

Rate my setup on a scale from 1 to "Mehdi getting shocked by his own workbench." How’s the cable management looking? ⚡
