In most installations in a two wire circuit the colour will be black. In a three wire circuit there will be two ungrounded conductors using a colour code of black and red.
Arcing Grounds is a phenomenon which is observed in ungrounded three phase systems. In ungrounded three phase systems operating in a healthy balanced conditions, capacitances are formed between the conductors and ground. The voltage across these capacitances is the phase voltage
YesIn Canada the answer is no. Triplex is an aerial rated set of conductors that are used to bring the voltage from the utilities pole to the service drop at the home. Triplex consists of two ungrounded conductors wrapped around a neutral steel supported conductor. These conductors can be used on higher current capacities due to the direct cooling of the conductors by the surrounding air. This is why you will see a service drop of number 6 conductors supplying a 100 amp service. For a three phase four wire system quadplex is used to make three phase connections to commercial and industrial services.
For a three-phase, three-wire, system there are three conductors called 'line conductors', and there is a voltage between any pair of line conductors, so there are three voltages.For a three-phase, four-wire, system there are four conductors: three 'line conductors' and a 'neutral' conductor. So there are three line voltages (voltages between lines) and three phase voltages (voltages between any line conductor and a neutral conductor).
If the three conductors are in a single cable they physically are positioned parallel in relationship to each other. True parallel conductors are combined to split the current. They have to be of equal length and size so that they split the load current between the two or three or four conductors. Conductors are paralleled so that multiple smaller conductors, which are easier to work with, can carry equally the total load current. To answer the question no, the three conductors in a 120/240 circuit are not considered to be in parallel. All three of these conductors could have a different current being carried by them depending on how the load is distributed.
Three conductors of electricity are metals, water and the human body.
There is no such thing as a 'phase conductor'. The correct term is 'line conductor'. Line conductors are the three energised conductors that supply a three-phase load.
The only designated colors in electrical wiring in North America are White as a neutral and Green as a ground wire. All other colors can be used as live wires. There are specific colors designated by the electrical code for phase wiring.Answer for European SystemsThe relevant regulations define all conductors, other than the protective (earth/ground) conductor, as 'live' conductors. In Europe, the line conductor has a nominal potential of 230 V with respect to the neutral conductor.In Europe, the the three line conductors of a three-phase system are identified with brown, black, and grey insulation, respectively. For single-phase systems, brown is normally used. Neutral conductors are identified using blue insulation, and protective (earth/ground) conductors are identified using green/yellow stripedinsulation.
The three different colors are blue, red, and yellow.

There are a great many conductors in the world. These conductors can include musical conductors and electrical conductors for example.
