Re: "Easily Visible" PD Board

Regardless if this orientation will pass inspection or not, looking at your second picture, I see some problems.
The first is that there is bare copper showing on the wires in front two WAGO connectors. This will cause you problems in the future. Trim the wires shorter so that no copper is showing.
The second is that those wires appear to large for the connectors. It is hard to tell, but those wires appear to be 12 AWG. The max for these connectors is 14 AWG. This will cause the WAGO connectors to not grab the wire properly.
