Wiring

Good service practice is to never route wiring over
terminals and/or sharp edges. This applies to any wiring
without regard to the circuit voltage. Wire insulation
material and thickness is designed and regulated for
electrical spacing purpose only, but cannot always be
relied upon because of possible cuts and/or abrasions,
which can occur during servicing.
