How to terminate for safety, wild Romex 12/2 or 12/3 wires in open rafters/joists in unfinished basement?
#2
1- Get a non contact electrical sensor.
2- Test each romex line. If it's hot, you'll have to put it into a box, then put a wire nut on each wire. Tight. Wrap with electrical tape if you want to. Then close the box. Best thing is to also find a way to figure out which breaker it's on, and mark the box accordingly.

Everyone should have one of these gizmos.
