- In this video I want to show you some of the colour codes used for electrical cables, both AC and DC installations. These codes can change from one country to another and also vary depending on the nominal voltages, if the cables supply AC or DC voltages, etc.
I'm going to talk about the most important standards, as well as some sample standards for different countries.
Let's see the codes:
*) the standards IEC60446 and IEC60445 of the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC
*) The National Electrical Code or NEC of the USA.
*) The standard NOM-001-SEDE of Mexico
*) The Technical Regulation of Electrical Installations, RETIE, of Colombia
*) The Canadian Electrical Code (CEC)
*) Brazil's NBR 5410 standard
*) European standard EN60445
*) The standard RES207-95 AEA 90364-7-770 IRAM 2183 of Argentina
*) The colour code of Russia and China
*) BS7671 standard of India and Pakistan
*) Japan JIS C 3306 standard
and finally the Australian colour codes for both equipment and facilities. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Great video color codes for different countries. I live in the USA and I had to do some work that had to b shipped to China and mexico the color codes for different countries really helped thanks💪
Hello Antonio, thanks a lot for your positive feedback!!!
Thank you! Learning something new for me.
Hello Elaine, thanks a lot for watching the video!
Useful information, thank you
It's a pleasure to help!
Different than in the video suggested:
According to IEC 60445:2021 to following colours are used in DC systems:
6.2.4 Line conductor in DC system
Line conductors in DC systems shall be identified by the colour:
- RED for the positive line conductor,
- WHITE for the negative line conductor.
So my ceiling light box has lilac, green, and grey/white cables connected to 3-rail-screw terminal
It's labeled (in same order) as N, GROUND, L
Should I be worried? (House is probably from 60-90's period)
What are the settings for Battery if experience low voltage on display
I wonder about Saudi Arabia they have 127 volts what is there color code and is 14 gage wire used on 15 amps and 12 gage wir we used on 20 amps do they use American standards boxes or British standard boxes and there outlets British standard for mounting and terminal connections with American standard plug on the front
Then there’s also pink, purple, and (I think) cyan for 600v. Above that voltage, all phases are black
Great information thank you
Thanks a lot for your comment!
Copper wire what match red or black?
I have cord on a wet vac the wires are green/ black/light green
I put green on ground and the other two on the other past - don't work help
BS7671 *IS* the IEC standard.
what colors are used in thailand
IN ONE SLIDE WHERE IT SHOULD BE LABELED 277 IT IS LABELED 227

L= live
comunist colors (yellow,green,red) used in China were used also in USSR, green it's very dangerous for young electricians, probably they are instructed about old one too
Thanks for your feedback
