Mark,

Could you please take down this link before someone emulates your
installation and gets electrocuted?

If someone connects a 220VAC 4-wire dryer with only three wires, leaving the
chassis ungrounded, the chassis would become hot if one of the conductors you
show running unprotected through the sharp metal edge of the case were to
contact the dryer. With time and vibration owing to dryer movement, this
would be a very likely scenario.

With one hand on the hot chassis, another on a sink or grounded washing
machine, the current would cross their chest and could stop their heart. You
might cause someone to die. Please consider that and do the responsible
thing.

I noticed and corrected that safety problem just after taking those
pictures. There should be a note about that on that page.

I am currently unable to verify that because of what appears to be a
problem with my ISP. I expect to remove or fix that page when I get a
chance.


The page is now disabled.
