2. Electrical wiring in North America - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring_in_North...

   For power circuits, the color-coding uses the same colors as residential construction, and adds the additional wires used for three-phase systems. Black, Red and Blue are used for hot wires and White is used as the neutral wire in a 120/208 V circuit. Brown, Orange and Yellow are used as hot wires and gray is used as the neutral wire in a 277/ ...

3. Ground and neutral - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_and_neutral

   The three bars for the three "live" phases (marked L1, L2 and L3) are also visible on the bottom right. In electrical engineering, ground and neutral (earth and neutral) are circuit conductors used in alternating current (AC) electrical systems. The neutral conductor receives and returns alternating current to the supply during normal operation ...

4. Electrical wiring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring

   For very high currents in electrical apparatus, and for high currents distributed through a building, bus bars can be used. (The term "bus" is a contraction of the Latin omnibus – meaning "for all".) Each live ("hot") conductor of such a system is a rigid piece of copper or aluminium, usually in flat bars (but sometimes as tubing or other ...

5. Electronic color code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_color_code

   A 2.26 kΩ, 1%-precision resistor with 5 color bands (), from top, 2-2-6-1-1; the last two brown bands indicate the multiplier (×10) and the tolerance (1%).. An electronic color code or electronic colour code (see spelling differences) is used to indicate the values or ratings of electronic components, usually for resistors, but also for capacitors, inductors, diodes and others.

6. IEC 60446 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60446

   The international standard IEC 60446 Basic and safety principles for man-machine interface, marking and identification - Identification of equipment terminals, conductor terminations and conductors was a standard published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) that defined basic safety principles for identifying electrical conductors by colours or numerals, for example in ...

7. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

   This three-wire single-phase system is common in North America for residential and light commercial applications. Circuit breaker panels typically have two live (hot) wires, and a neutral, connected at one point to the grounded center tap of a local transformer. Usually, one of the live wires is black and the other one red; the neutral wire is ...

8. List of electronic color code mnemonics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_electronic_color...

   A mnemonic which includes color name(s) generally reduces the chances of confusing black and brown. Some mnemonics that are easy to remember: Big Boys Race Our Young Girls But Violet Generally Wins. Better Be Right Or Your Great Big Venture Goes West. [1] Beetle Bailey Runs Over Your General Before Very Good Witnesses.

9. 25-pair color code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/25-pair_color_code

   The color combinations are applied to the insulation that covers each conductor. Typically, one color is a prominent background color of the insulation, and the other is a tracer, consisting of stripes, rings, or dots, applied over the background. The background color always matches the tracer color of its paired conductor, and vice versa.
