It depends in which country you live, as the colours depend upon national or international standards. In the UK, for example, the colours were red, yellow, and blue. These days, in order to integrate with EU requirements, those colours are being replaced with brown, black and grey.
In Canada the phase colours are Red, Black and Blue.
In the US the phase color coding is Black, Red and Blue for 208 volts and Brown, Orange and Yellow for 480 volts.

What else can I help you with?
How many volts does 12-2 wire carry?
12-2 wire typically carries 120 volts in residential settings and 240 volts in certain appliances or systems that require higher voltage.
How many volts does a brown wire carry?
The three colours used in the UK are: blue (live), brown (neutral), yellow and green stripes (earth). The standard UK domestic voltage is 240 volts.
How many amps can a 12 awg wire carry at 240 volts?
The voltage has nothing to do with the capacity of a wire to handle current. A #12 copper wire with an insulation factor of 60, 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 20 amps.
Can you use 240 volts with a 120 volt supply?
No, it is not possible to use 240 volts with a 120 volt supply directly. You would need a transformer to step up the voltage from 120 volts to 240 volts. Attempting to use 240 volts with a 120 volt supply without a transformer can damage equipment and pose a safety hazard.
How you can produce 240 volts from a single phase 3 wire system with a nominal voltage of 120 volts?
you can use two hot wire different phases with a double pole braker .
What is the standard voltage conversion ratio from 240 volts to 120 volts?
The standard voltage conversion ratio from 240 volts to 120 volts is 2:1.
What are standar wire colors for 207 vots?
The three colours used in the UK are: blue (live), brown (neutral), yellow and green stripes (earth). The standard UK domestic voltage is 240 volts.
Can hard wire appliances in US work in Europe?
Unlikely- European countries run on 240 volts which is about double the US standard.
How many volts does 12-2 wire carry?
12-2 wire typically carries 120 volts in residential settings and 240 volts in certain appliances or systems that require higher voltage.
How do you add a neutral wire for 220 volts?
Standard wiring for 220 volts which is also referred to as 240 volts, commonly has four wires. One is red, one is black, one is white and one is a bare copper wire. The red and black wire carry 120 volts each, the white wire in usually your neutral which hooks up to your ground along with the bare wire.
What is ampere rating of 10 gauge wire at 120 volts and at 240 volts?
30 amps.
How many volts does a brown wire carry?
The three colours used in the UK are: blue (live), brown (neutral), yellow and green stripes (earth). The standard UK domestic voltage is 240 volts.
How many amps can a 12 awg wire carry at 240 volts?
The voltage has nothing to do with the capacity of a wire to handle current. A #12 copper wire with an insulation factor of 60, 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 20 amps.
Does 240 volt have a neutral wire?
Yes <<>> In North America, a three wire 120/240 volt system uses a neutral wire. For 240 volts two "hot" wires are used with no neutral.
How much current at 240 volts passes through a wire with a resistance of 100 ohms?
current = voltage/resistanceAssuming the 240 volts is across the 100 ohm wire, 2.4 amperespower = current * voltageResulting in the wire dissipating 576 watts... One hot wire!
What size copper wire should you use for 240 volts 200 amps?
3/0 wire 3/0 wire
What gauge wire would I need for 2500 feet for 240 volts and 0.4 amps?
A #14 wire will do the job.
