Black in a black/red/green set, or blue in a blue/brown/green set. The hot is red or brown and the earth is green (note: I'm in New Zealand and assuming that the colors are the same).

What color is neutral wire in Australia?
The colour of the neutral wire in Australia is blue with marking N.
What colors are electrical wires with number reference?
eletrical wire has 3 specif colour coding. As live wire ,neutral wire,earth wire. 1.live - red 2.neutral-black 3.earth - green. These are the specific color coding of eletrical wire.
Can a green wire be used for a neutral?
'Can' yes. 'Should' no. <<>> Never use a green wire for a neutral. It is colour coded for a reason and that is to protect the people that work on electrical equipment. If you turn a ground wire into a neutral it then becomes a current carrying conductor. There are times in the electrical trade when grounds have to be disconnected and if it is used as a neutral and the tradesman is holding one end and touching a grounded object a shock will occur. Again never use a green ground wire as a neutral.

What position would you find live electrical wire?
You would find a live electric wire, with a neutral and usually also an earth wire, in any place where electricity is used. The wires are colour coded differently in different areas but in Europe live is brown, neutral is blue and earth is green/yellow.
What are the color codes on 240 volt 3 wire?
In North America the cable colour coding is Red and Black, usually used for the current carrying conductors. The third wire is White and it is used as the neutral on a three wire electrical circuit.
What happens if neutral and hot touch each other?
If a "hot" wire contacts the "neutral" or ground wire, electrical current flows to the ground.
