What color is the fuse for a plug?

Answer 1

The neutral wire color is white in USA, Canada and other countries which run a 60 Hz electrical power service.

The neutral wire color is blue in countries in Europe and elsewhere which run a 50 Hz electrical power service.

WARNING: It is never ever safe to assume that the color of any wire means that it cannot be "hot" or live".

Do not assume you know which wire is which until you have actually tested it with a proper electrician's test meter or other approved electrical voltage testing device!

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.

Before you do any work yourself,

on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,

always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

In most cases, fuses for plugs are color-coded based on their current rating or type. However, the color can vary depending on the manufacturer. It's common to find fuses with different colors such as brown, blue, yellow, red, or white in plugs. It's important to check the fuse rating and not rely solely on the color to ensure it is the correct one.
