If you don't know different for sure, then you must treat ANY
electrical wire as if it's live, regardless of what color it may be.

Do you join brown electrical wire to red electrical wire and blue electrical wire to black electrical wire?
yes
What is electrical wire color code for brown?
Different colours mean different things in different countries, but in the UK remember Mr Brown is a live wire.
What position would you find live electrical 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.
What is the brown wire in a plug?
This is not true in all plugs it all depends on the manufacturer and the product. Plug wires come in all different colors such as red, black, brown, yellow, blue, and so on. So as I said the wire being brown is indicative of a certain manufacturer or product.
What is the brown wire on my house wiring?
If you live in Europe, then the brown wire is the line ('hot') conductor; a blue wire is the neutral conductor, and a yellow/green striped wire is the protective (earth) conductor.

What are the UK wiring colours?
The brown wire is live (Mr Brown is a live wire!)Blue is the neutral wire for the return current. Green/yellow is the earth wire.

When an electrical earthing wire is showing live what is the problem?
earth wire not cnnected from main earth
When a live battery feed wire touches the metal frame shorting all electrical power out throughout the entire vehicle what is the problem that needs correcting?
insulate the 'live battery feed wire'. i.e.; electrical tape. Or, replace wire.

What is live in electrical engineering?

What are the three wires in a plug called?
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
What does the live wire do in an electrical circuit?
The live wire in the supply cable carries current from the power station to the electrical device that you want to use. The current returns to the power station through the neutral wire in the supply cable. For safety reasons, on some electrical equipment there is also a ground wire - also known as an earth wire. It is connected to any metal parts on the outside of the unit, such as a metal case, and to any internal metal chassis, motor framework, etc. The ground wire is necessary to conduct away the current which could otherwise kill someone if a fault or an accident happens which damages the insulation of the live wire so that it touches any of those metal parts and gives them a high voltage. That would be very dangerous to the human users of the equipment.
