Whats wrong with that? At least it is not all in one color (basic black) like I have seen plenty of hackers do, and steal the wiring diagram.

Maybe the installer was offsetting his carbon footprint by using less cable!

Besides the individual that left the equipment in such a state there's nothing here that would shorten the equipment life.

It is matter of fact that it simply looks like someone removed the factory zip ties in order to trace out the wires or have enough slack to install the third party voltage/phase monitor. If fact, you can still see the original bend in the wires as a result of the factory installed zips that are now missing.

Very sloppy and inexcusable work but nothing that would affect the equipment's life outside of a possible short to ground from the now loose wires rubbing inside of the equipment cabinet.
