The colour red designates that the wire is used as a live wire. The neutral wire is identified as white in colour.
The colour of the neutral wire in Australia is blue with marking N.
green
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.
No, the colour white is used to identify the neutral in electrical distribution systems.
In North America the white neutral wire is never switched. This is because a split single phase secondary system is used. Opening a neutral could put two branch circuit loads in series with each other.
A live wire carries electrical current to the device, while a neutral wire completes the circuit by returning the current to the power source.
The same rules apply to the whole of Europe. "Brown is live" , "Blue is neutral" and "Green/Yellow is Earth".
The live wire is brown in coulor while the earth wireis green and yellow in color and neutral wire is blue in colour. Uses of these three wire: Live wire:It's connected with fuse.It carries a voltage which drives electric current through the electrical appliances. Earth wire:It is a safety device and protect us from electric shock. Neutral wire:It offers a return path by electric current.
Not only in BC but in all of North America, the colour for a neutral wire is white.
The live wire carries electrical current to the device, while the neutral wire completes the circuit by providing a path for the current to return to the power source.
All depends on what country you are in, wiring standards and cable type. Industrial cable in the UK is. :- Red = Live Black = Neutral Copper wire = earth. (add Green/Yellow striped sleeve at junctions.) Domestic is:- Brown = Live Blue = neutral Green/yellow stripe = Earth Europe Black = Live Blue = Neutral Brown = Earth
