The wire color codes from this category are 3 phase color charts, all of the cable behind the wall, in the wall, or on the wall.

Indonesia uses the wiring color codes standard from PUIL 2011 (Persyaratan Umum Instalasi Listrik) adapted from IEC 60446 as follows:

Canada follows the wiring color codes standard by Canadian Electric Code (CEC). The wiring color codes from CEC are classified into flexible cables and fixed cables.

The UK now adapts IEC 60446 as its own wire color codes from British Standard BS 7671:2001 Amendment No 2:2004. There is a little extension that UK also uses grey color as line conductor. Same as above, the UK wiring color code (with extension) along with 3 phase color chart will be:

Keep in mind that not every country has all the wire color codes recorded in a document. When it comes to this, we need to use local custom or “alternative” colors.

Electrical wiring is an installation of the electric devices and cables. The devices can be electronic boards, switches, sockets, and room lighting.

Wirecolour codes

The US follows National Electrical Code (NEC) wire color codes. The wiring color codes from NEC are classified into flexible cables and fixed cables.

The wire color codes from this category are 3 phase color charts, all of the cable behind the wall, in the wall, or on the wall.

Electrical wiring standard and electrical wiring installation are made with the purpose of the best safety for people and devices.

Power cable colours

The wire color codes from this category are extension cord, power cable, and lamp cords wiring color. South Africa uses this IEC 60446 (International Electrotechnical Commission) for flexible cable:

I purchased fog lights and they are made in china they have a red wire and a black wire and a yellow wire and I don’t know how to wire this can anyone help me

This standard varies for each region or country. They are modelled based on code produced by national or international standards organizations.

Wire color code is a crucial thing to be noted. Especially for electricians, electrical engineers, technicians, and even regular people.

We need to know what is the specific purpose for each color before touching it (you better don’t touch or plug-unplug the cable unless you know what is the meaning of its color).

Wire color codes or cable color code charts for both AC and DC are classified based on national standards for each region. You may find different colors in different countries, so that’s why we need to check it by ourselves or consult a professional.

There are also wiring color codes for DC power but we will only cover the NEC and IEC standards since they are more commonly used. These Include 5V, 12V, 24V wire color code, or even higher.

Fog lights usually have 2 wires, hot and ground. We advise you to use those two first to make sure it can light up. For the yellow, it usually acts as an adjuster on another electronics element such as dimming.

The wiring needs to be taken seriously. We must follow the safety standards and installation practice. The types of the wire and its size are strictly classified to the operating voltage and current capability.

If you have opened a light switch box or an electrical outlet, you might have encountered various confusing colored cables.

Most of Europe uses this IEC 60446 (International Electrotechnical Commission) standard for electrical color code charts. The colors and the labels can be observed below:

According IEC 60445 The colours hould be : Purpose Color Positive L+ RED Negative L- WHITE Ground M BLUE Center-tap N BLUE Protective conductor bi-color GREEN-YELLOW

For DC wiring color code, IEC has standard; that is: Purpose Color Positive Brown Negative Gray Ground Blue Center-tap Blue

Please remember that older installations may use different colors. It is wise to make a note about color code history. With this strategy, we will get better safety and easier maintenance.
