Absolutely should not be like that. The green is the ground, and should be grounded to the case some how. The other two are directional wires and dictate which way the motor spins. Fed up through the vent grating like that will DEFINITLY wear through the insulation of those wires and short it out. When I have situations like that at work, I put the wires inside a small length of 3/4" PVC pipe so they are contained and then electrical tape the [censored] out of the pipe to one of the fan braces, then zip tie it as well for extra long structural security. Don't have a pic with me to show you. And yes, I would certainly call that company back and tell the owner of what this guy is doing. He is jeopardizing many peoples equipment by doing this.

If that is the best way it seems they would come from the factory like that.

The green is attached to a screw under that gray cap, still don't like it exposed like that, couldn't it have been grounded underneath somehow without being in danger of hitting the fan? I should have asked on here who to call in the first place.

Cheap shorted you out of a ground
call it what you will...he is not definitely not anywhere near the top of the list for QB's that I would choose needing a FG or touchdown drive late in the game.

Factory motors have the direction set inside the motors. A lot of the todays motors are somewhat generic and can be spun either way to suit a multitude of different applications, hence the directional wiring.
I don't know if I'd bother with the TDLR about this techs way of doing that, but I would damn sure make sure he doesn't do it again. Please make it known to his boss. If he IS the boss, don't use them again.

The bad thing about those motors is the don’t have pecker heads. Is that where you got electrocuted?

My AC was done like that too Mine too. But my AC man is an old drunk. Been like that for a few years. Mine to. It is for reversing the fan if needed is what I was told. The main wires the fan run off of are underneath the cowling(or whatever they call it). I had this verified by two other AC people in the last 3 weeks after it was replaced. Edit:Now drinking with another AC issue. Not related to the outside fan not working properly. I knew this 20 year old system was going out soon.

So what SHOULD it look like. The grounding wire should be run underneath and attached to a screw into the case, fairly simple. However the other wire set? Should it just be tucked under and wrapped in tape? Should it be put in a wiring raceway? If he comes back I want to make sure he does it right his time.
Thanks for the advice guys!

Thanks for the advice guys! Minimum, wrapped in tape to the raceway that's right next to it. Minimum! A lot of the motors I've replaced, the direction wires are not in the same place as the power wires, which does make it hard to hide them safely. That's why I take a piece of PVC pipe (or electrical conduit which he should have on his truck) and fold them over loosely and put the wires inside, then tape (and zip tie for extra measure) to the nearest support. The wires are protected from the sun and the fan blade that way.
