Best Answer

The Active wire is always either Red (in a 3 core Red, Black and Green cable) or Brown (in a 3 core Brown, Blue and Green/Yellow cable). You can also be electrocuted by the neutral (Black or Blue) wire if the active is still supplying current through a device. The only truly safe way to handle mains wiring is to completely isolate the circuit at the fuse board.
