connect a lightbulb to a battery: You have no ground, or floating
ground. That's 12VDC
connect a lightbulb to a battery, and run a ground wire to the negative
terminal, and the lightbulb socket has negative connected to a ground
lug, which you, the operator, presumably connect to ground. Th
You may be right.

The best standard is to make it the same everywhere for YOUR stuff.

Ok, then I found this:

Which says DC with no ground is red/black.
DC with negative ground is red/white
DC with positive ground is white/black

There are many opinions about this.
-48 seems to be red in many installations with black being return
I have a standard, but I'm sure nobody else will like it. I do red for
+24, orange for +48 and blue for -48. Black is always return.

I have seen -48V done both ways - black as 0V and red as 0V.Red as 0V seems
to be more common.
Both are confusing if you are not familiar and I usually resort to getting out
a voltmeter to check before connecting anything.
Black as -48V is bad if you expect black to be at ground and not hav

-or-

Do they do things differently with -48? It just occurred to me that a
