Hello.
I would like someone to clearly lay out to me what colours match what phase (?) according to the standards out there. I know that colours are just a convention, and that as long as keep the colours coherent across a circuit it is really Ok, but i'd like to know about the standards.
Tipically i use BLACK for NEUTRAL (or COMMON or NEGATIVE or whatever you want to call it) and RED for LIVE (or POSITIVE). I have seen also BROWN for LIVE and BLUE for COMMON. GREEN or GREEN&YELLOW is always earthing.
The problem is that i have spotted on occasion mixtures, like black and blue, red and blue or black and brown. I have seen other colours mixed as well, but those (white, yellow, violet, etc) were in complex circuits, like a PBX.
Thanks;
Bruno
