If this is a residential system there are likely two hot wires, black and red. White is neutral and there will be 115 volts between white and either hot. Ground is typically green or a bare wire.

If this question is really asking about a 50 Hz service - as its Category has been set to - the colors are definitely not as shown in the answer shown above. Those colors are only correct for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.
Answer for countries in Europe and other world areas running a 50 Hz supply service.
- the Neutral wire is colored Blue
- the safety protective Earth or Ground wire is colored Green and Yellow
- the Live or Hot wire is colored Brown.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
