[PSES] Another question on wire colors

Hi Folks, There's been plenty of discussion here in the past on AC wire colors and neutral. With regards to DC, NFPA 79 and UL 508 A also define BLUE for ungrounded dc control circuits and WHITE with BLUE stripe for grounded dc current-carrying control circuit conductor. EN 60204-1 de

RE: AC wire colors for international use

Just to let everyone know, I had a conversation with a UL Engineer. I was using the wrong section of UL508A, which was for Industrial Machinery. For Control Panels, only the ground wire has a specific color assigned. We are free to use European wire colors for all AC wiring inside the

RE: AC wire colors for international use

I stand corrected in regards to UL508A. It sounds like UL 508A is behind the times. I have had commercial and industrial air conditioners UL Listed with European wire colors. UL 1995 does not force internal wire colors to all black. I didn’t realize that UL 508A did. If the panel is for a

RE: AC wire colors for international use

I just found out that since we build to UL508A compliance, the Hot wire must be Black and the Neutral must be White or Gray (UL508A 66.5.3). It looks like the Ground wire can be Green or Green/Yellow. I don’t think these wire colors will work for Europe. John Cochran From: emc-p

RE: AC wire colors for international use

Hello John, Brown, blue and green/yellow are not a violation of the NEC or CEC. You can use them in North America. The NEC specifies only a few wire colors. Green and green/yellow can only be used for ground. White and grey are reserved for neutral. No other colors are reserved for a

AC wire colors for international use

Sorry this question has probably already been answered many times, but I want to use the same AC wiring inside of an industrial control panel. Is it acceptable to use European wire colors (Brown, Blue, Green/Yellow) inside of a North American 115VAC industrial control panel? The NEC, according

Re-Identification of Ungrounded wire colors

Hello, I hope that you can help with this. I was asked to inquire about something and although it doesn't pertain specifically to products I figured it might be something that someone here would know something about. The Question: "NEC 200-7 requires a wire to be re-identified if it is going

Wire Colors for different Motor Voltages

t for 480VAC says they can't do it because the wires don't meet the color codes in the NEC. The wires are all black. Is this really a problem or are these Electricians just giving us a hard time? I thought internal wire colors are not important (except for the green/yellow protective g
