[QUOTE="Greg Cameron, post: 34319, member: 42"] Re: So, what are some warning signs that a stage may be unsafe? I disagree. The first step in safety is getting the terminology correct. Assuming that someone knows what you mean when not using correct terminology is a recipe for misunderstanding. Misunderstanding leads to problems, potentially dangerous ones. If you put a 3 wire feeder in someone's hands that doesn't know much about AC power distribution and tell them to connect the positive, negative and ground up to that there panel, they might assume you mean connect red & white wires to the red and black wires in the panel. And green to ground. Whoops. After the gear has fried, the next question is probably going to be, "what's a neutral?". I don't meant to nitpick, but you can't be lazy about stuff like that. If you tell them "hook the red wire to hot and the white wire to neutral," they're much more likely to ask what you're talking about if they don't understand. Obviously this unknowledgeable person shouldn't be anywhere near a panel and this may seem like an unlikely scenario, but stranger things have happened. Greg [/QUOTE]
