well that all depends when your dealing with what voltage is being applied to your motor,home, or building. the phase conductor in A panel box can be labeled with either red, or blue tape meaning that's the phase conductor or hot. This all comes down to with what type of electrical equipment or service your working with, The word phase just means that's the hot side and the hot side is usually the black wire, although a red or blue wire can to. Plus a wire being the hot conductor, or load the NEC likes to call it the phase conductor.
CommentThe term 'phase' conductor, in this context, is incorrect. The correct term is 'line' conductor.
What else can I help you with?
What color are the phase neutral and earth cores in flexible cords?
It depends on the electrical standards of the country in which you live. In Europe, for example, the line conductor(not 'phase conductor'!) is brown, the neutral conductor is blue, and the earth conductor* is green/yellow stripe.[*properly called a 'protective conductor']
What is the purpose of a phase conductor?
There is no such thing as a 'phase conductor'; the correct term is 'line conductor'. In a single-phase system, the line conductor is the energised conductor; in a three-phase system, there are three (energised) line conductors.
What is phase conductor?
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.
Can you use phase voltage as a single phase?
A single phase supply can be obtained between any pair of line conductors or between a line conductor and a neutral conductor.
Is current from a generator flows through the phase line and return through neutral to generator?
Yes, except that the correct term is 'line' conductor, not a 'phase' conductor.
What color can an underground conductor not be?
an underground conductor can be any color except white, grey or green.
How many wires are in a 3 phase circuit?
A ground, or earth, conductor is never included in the conductor count. So, a three-phase, three-wire, system has three line conductors, whereas a three-phase, four-wire system, has three line conductors and a neutral conductor.
How many wire or core in three phase electrical connection and single-phase electrical connection?
A single-phase cable will have a line and a neutral conductor and, possibly, but not necessarily, an earth (ground) conductor. A high-voltage three-phase cable will have three line conductors. A low-voltage three-phase cable is likely to have three line conductors and a neutral conductor.
Do Phase 10 runs have to be the same color?
No, Phase 10 runs do not have to be the same color.
Do runs in Phase 10 have to be the same color?
No, runs in Phase 10 do not have to be the same color.
Do skips count as a color in Phase 10?
No, skips do not count as a color in Phase 10.
Do the runs in Phase 10 have to be the same color?
No, the runs in Phase 10 do not have to be the same color.
