Brown = Hot
Blue = Neutral
Yellow/Green = Ground
In the UK Brown is the live, blue is the neutral and green/yellow is the earth. The live and neutral are the two wires that normally carry the current.
Live Wire = usually brown, if not then its grey or black. Neutral Wire = Blue Earth Wire = green and yellow striped
The earth wire, striped green and yellow, is connected to the terminal marked E; this should be the longest of the three wires so that it is the last to become detached if the cable is strained.The live wire (brown) is connected to the terminal marked L.The neutral wire (blue) is connected to the terminal marked N.
In the UK, the colours were once black = neutral, red = live, and green = earth. The modern standard colours are now blue = neutral (note the l in blue for left contact in the three pin plug used in the UK), brown = live (note the r in brown for right contact), and green and yellow stripes = earth In the US, black= hot wire, white= neutral, green or bare= ground (or earth) red= a second hot 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.
Blue - Neutral Brown - Life Yellow/Green - Earth
The green and yellow is the earth wire The brown is the live wire The blue is the neutral wire A poem to help is: The brown live cow drinks from the blue neutral water and eats the green grass from earth
In the UK Brown is the live, blue is the neutral and green/yellow is the earth. The live and neutral are the two wires that normally carry the current.
Europe follows the IEC colour code that was adopted also by the UK in 2004: Single-phase: Earth: yellow and green, Neutral: blue, Live: brown. Three-phase: Earth: yellow and green, Neutral: blue, Live: brown, black, grey. In some cables the Earth wire is bare copper which should be fitted with yellow and green sleeving at its terminations.
Live Wire = usually brown, if not then its grey or black. Neutral Wire = Blue Earth Wire = green and yellow striped
red - brown black - blue green/yellow - green
In an Israeli single phase system the hot wire (live) is brown, the neutral (0V) is blue and the ground is green with a yellow tracer. In older installations the hot is red and the neutral is black. However occasionally these colors aren't exact. For example you may see brown and black wires. In this case the brown is the hot. You should always verify the wiring especially if the standard colors (blue, brown, and green with a yellow stripe) are not present.
white wires are neutral. green wires are ground wires.

Because the mains supply has three wires. The Live wire (brown) is the power from the mains. The Neutral (blue) is the return to the mains (completing the circuit). The Earth (green/yellow stripe) - is the 'safety trip'.
