What colour are 3 phase wires?
Fixed wiring electricity supply requires specific wiring colour regulations (bs 7671) to identify different power lines in different countries. The USA have their own wiring colours for electrical circuits, black, red, and blue are used for 208 VAC three-phase; brown, orange and yellow are used for 480 VAC.
Which colour is neutral in 3 phase supply?
In case of a three phase power supply, the combination of Red, Yellow and Blue are used for the active line power conductors, Black color for neutral conductor and Green or Green â Yellow for protective ground.

What’s the Order of phases in an IEC color code?
However, when I was researching the topic earlier – before I had obtained the standards – the ordering of phases came up as BROWN – BLACK – GREY respectively for 3 phases, in multiple sites such as: Which refers to the above standards. What is going on here? Is it common practice or is there some other standard for Europe only for example?
When did UK start using new color code for electrical wiring?
In the old IEC color code, all the lines in three phase supply are either brown or black. This created a lot of problem. Hence, the new color code is introduced. UK started using the IEC code from March, 2014. Before that, it had its own code for electrical wiring.
What are the color codes for three phase AC?
Three Phase Wiring Color Codes. Three Phase 208V AC: BLACK = Phase 1 , Hot 1 or Line 1 âL1â RED = Phase 2 , Hot 2 or Line 2 âL2â BLUE = Phase 3 , Hot 3 or Line 3 âL3â White = Neutral âNâ GREEN, BARE or GREEN / YELLOW = Ground âPGâ Three Phase 277V & 480 V AC:
Is there a color code for 120 phase?
^5 Since 1975, the U.S. National Electric Code has not specified coloring of phase conductors. It is common practice in many regions to identify 120/208Y conductors as black, red, and blue. It is common practice in many regions to identify 120/208Y conductors as black, red, and blue.
