Let’s go for:
Pink Orange Green Purple
expecially on some cables where you have dark brown, black & dark grey
Or a crappy cable where they are all dark, or the black is really light. The colour change is still pretty much the top reason I don't like being an electrician any more.
Why did we drop using red?
Why did we drop using red?
Around here we have what is known as "the liverpool cross", apparently many years ago there was a **** up made and somehow on the old red, white, blue and black, the white ended up being used as neutral. I was only made aware of this when I was on a job and the DNO were working there also, one was telling me about this and apparently they'd had situations where houses had been connected up using 2 phases rather than phase and neutral. In some area's they insist on you having your own electrician present when they do any work, one factory I was working in and they were changing the supply cable, they did their tests to confirm correct phasing/polarity, then insisted that I repeated the tests and signed a document saying the work was correct.Miss Sweden may be able to confirm this, I’m pretty sure the DNO’s still use RYB due to all the legacy equipment on their networks.
By 'proper money' are you referring to the old pounds, shillings and pence lark?Proper wiring colours would make britain great again.. It would be a great start!! Next thing would be to bring back the "proper" money.. All the foreigners would clear off, as they have not the intellect to understand it. [certain northern europeans excepted!]
If only it would happen.... [Oh, nearly forgot, and bring back proper petrol too..]
