Cable Colour Code


From Open Electrical

Power cable insulation is normally colour coded so that phase, neutral and earth conductors can be easily identified. These colour codes vary with
region and / or country:

Country / Three Phase Single Phase DC Protective

Notes

(1) No recommendations given


(2) In Denmark, Italy and Poland, light blue along the entire length with green / yellow markings at the ends
(3) In 2007, IEC 60446 was merged with IEC 60445 (2010), "Basic and safety principles for man-machine interface, marking and identification
Identification of equipment terminals, conductor terminations and conductors". IEC 60446 is no longer used.
(4) Since 1975, NFPA 70, "The National Electricity Code (NEC)" has not prescribed colours for active conductors (except for orange for earthed
delta). Local regulations take precedence.
(5) These are preferred colours. Active conductors can be any colour except for green / yellow, green, yellow, black or light blue

Cable colors

Identification colors of cores in cables in Europe have been subject to developments that results in the harmonization document HD 308 S2. These rules
do not apply to conductors used in the materials and sets assembled at the factory although compliance is strongly recommended. For information, old
national colour codes are shown in the table below. These cables are still widely present in existing installations.
