Green, or yellow and green striped.
In the UK, the old wiring colours were... Live = red, Neutral = black, Earth = green.
The following applies to the UK Blue wire goes to neutral Brown wire to live Yellow/Green stripe wire to earth
green and yellow
In the UK the neutral wire is 'blue'.
the color of the earth is simply blue green and whiteThe above answer is completely incorrect.In common with other European countries, the colour code for UK electrical installations is:line: brownneutral: blueearth (protective conductor): green/yellow stripe (or bare)Prior to the adoption of these colours, they were:line: redneutral: blackearth (protective conductor): green (or bare)
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.
The colour of earth wire is yellow and green now you may ask why well the reason is that the green one as well yellow color is used as Earth's wire. This is because the green and yellow type wires are for grounding purposes or we can say earthen purposes. Green colored wires are used in an electric circuit for grounding.
The wire color indicates what type of voltage the wire is carrying. Color coding is important for safety because the live, neutral and earth wires must never be confused. Color codes differ between Europe and USA etc.
The insulation will be green in colour. Also bare copper can be used as a ground wire.
eletrical wire has 3 specif colour coding. As live wire ,neutral wire,earth wire. 1.live - red 2.neutral-black 3.earth - green. These are the specific color coding of eletrical wire.
Different colours mean different things in different countries, but in the UK remember Mr Brown is a live wire.
red = phase, black = neutral, green = earth
