Defect:
Unsheathed single-core electrical cables are hanging exposed from the circular conduit junction box without proper conduit enclosure, support, or cover plate.
Potential Risks / Consequences:
Electric shock hazard: Exposed electrical cables may come into contact with people or conductive surfaces.
Short-circuit and fire risk: Unprotected cables are more susceptible to mechanical damage, moisture, and insulation deterioration.
Cable damage: Unsupported hanging cables may place stress on the cable connections and terminals.
Moisture and dust ingress: The absence of a proper cover plate may allow dust and moisture to enter the junction box.
