Check the comments of the original post for the stupidity.
For those of you without an electrical background, the diagram shows the protective earth connected directly to phase, with phase and neutral also joined.
Correctly wired, this would be a three pin plug, with the earth wire connected to the earth pin in the plug, with the other end connected to the metal casing of the appliance. This is a critical safety feature, which will cause the circuit protection to trip in the event a phase wire contacts the metal of whatever this is connected to.
If this was actually done, the most likely outcome is it would trip a circuit breaker, but if the neutral was broken, it would connect phase directly to the casing, and likely electrocute someone.
Yeah… I tried to ask it in Danish, and this is what it came up with…
I’ve assembled a few plugs myself… And this certain isn’t quite how I did it…
EDIT: This was actually Gemini 2.5 Pro… But it’s not very “pro”
Google should just send gemini to the Google Graveyard™
