Connecting the earth wire, which goes to the metal casing of the appliance, directly to phase definitely isn't safe.
And where does phase go to or come from? The picture shows a short of piece of wire labelled "phase" but that doesn't magically make an otherwise unconnected piece of wire anything active. If labelling anything "phase" could produce energy, boy would my energy bill go down fast ๐
I keep to my statement: The pic shows a completely dead "circuit".
This is a plug, which you plug into a socket, which is where the leccy comes from.
Of course the circuit is dead, it's not plugged in.
