how s### is the T&E if you blue is nearly brown?

Is that a hole in the floor?

Black and Brown are L2 and L1, but should be marked the same colour if actually the same phase.

 

Grey is L3 or N with a blue sleeve or marker.

 

using Black as N is 'discouraged'.

 

That's right isn't it?

Assumed the original comment was about the new harmonised colours for mains.

I also think they where daft at the time, mainly for turning a neutral colour into a line colour but it's done now and in line with all countries in and around Europe so can't really complain.

I always wondered, back in the 70s when we harmonised flex, was that to make all colours the same as the emerging EC/EU, to eventually allow electrical goods to be sold anywhere, or was it as much

to differentiate between flex and fixed building wiring?

[james.wilson]

er sorry i dont think so, they seems pretty easy to identify, Maybe electrics isnt best for you or your eyes?
