Показать описание
In this video I want to show you some of the colour codes used for electrical cables, both AC and DC installations. These codes can change from one country to another and also vary depending on the nominal voltages, if the cables supply AC or DC voltages, etc.
I'm going to talk about the most important standards, as well as some sample standards for different countries.
Let's see the codes:
*) the standards IEC60446 and IEC60445 of the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC
*) The National Electrical Code or NEC of the USA.
*) The standard NOM-001-SEDE of Mexico
*) The Technical Regulation of Electrical Installations, RETIE, of Colombia
*) The Canadian Electrical Code (CEC)
*) Brazil's NBR 5410 standard
*) European standard EN60445
*) The standard RES207-95 AEA 90364-7-770 IRAM 2183 of Argentina
*) The colour code of Russia and China
*) BS7671 standard of India and Pakistan
*) Japan JIS C 3306 standard
and finally the Australian colour codes for both equipment and facilities.

Different than in the video suggested:
According to IEC 60445:2021 to following colours are used in DC systems:

6.2.4 Line conductor in DC system
Line conductors in DC systems shall be identified by the colour:
– RED for the positive line conductor,
– WHITE for the negative line conductor.

So my ceiling light box has lilac, green, and grey/white cables connected to 3-rail-screw terminal
It's labeled (in same order) as N, GROUND, L
Should I be worried? (House is probably from 60-90's period)

Then there’s also pink, purple, and (I think) cyan for 600v. Above that voltage, all phases are black

comunist colors (yellow, green, red) used in China were used also in USSR, green it's very dangerous for young electricians, probably they are instructed about old one too
