What colour is single phase electrical supply?

In: Home Electricity, Electrical Engineering, Electrical Wiring [Edit categories]

Answer:

The colour of the single phase electrical supply is RED (PHASE) and BLACK (NETURAL).

Answer

It depends entirely on the standards used in your particular country.

In North America, for example, the colours are black (line, not 'phase') and white (neutral).

In Europe, the colours are brown (line) and blue (neutral).

Other countries have different standards.
