[QUOTE="Risteard, post: 438331, member: 2666"] In the north they are permissible (as the work is carried out to BS7671) but it is never, ever done. Incidentally, BS7671 does specify a preference for conductors being identifiable throughout their length (though not a requirement so long as correctly marked at terminations). In the south under ET101 (National Rules for Electrical Installations) the use of another colour marked at the terminations is expressly forbidden. As such all phase conductors must be coloured brown throughout their entire length. (In a three-phase installation single phase circuits can, however, be wired in phase colours. This is [U][B]NOT[/B][/U] permitted by BS7671.)) [/QUOTE]
