Phasing order

[Hadrian Parsons]

I am intrested in finding out if the NEC code has an article about colors such as y,b,o or b,o,y or b,r,blu.

Thanks, Hadrian Parsons

No and yes, do you have a code book?

No the NEC does not specify which phase and voltage is which color other than grounded (white / gray) grounding (green / bare).

Tell us a little bit about what you need this info for. To settle a bet? Test question? Curiosity? Bidding a job?

Inquiring minds want to know.

This is out of the 2002 NEC....

BLUE....322.120C...400.22C...424.356....504.80C

BROWN...4524.35...517.160A5(2)

ORANGE...215.8...230.56....408.3E...424.35...517.160A5

RED...322.120C....424.35...517.160B1

Andrew, 517.160(B)(1) is refering to an LIM warning lamp, not a phase or conductor color, and 110.15 needs to be added to your orange list

Andrew it might help if you put some descriptions of each section as most of them are fairly obscure and do not apply to general wiring.

Roger and Bob,

I dug that list up from all the other semi useless lists I have. I just threw it out their for general info. A describtion will be worked on and 110.15 should have been on the list.

Thank you both
Andrew
