Discuss Code for Armour of Swa not being earthed... in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

i thought white black and green are the American cable colours
And i have seen the old red white and blue three phase colours , and imo the best choice of colours, easy to see what each phase is in the dark.:)

They are, but they use the green for the grounding (earth)

In the days of our 9th edition green was one of the phases of a three phase supply
 
I know they use green as the earth as ive come across it many times in old domestic installation, but never seen green used as a phase , mind you the 9th addtion is a liitle before my time :)
 
The armoured not being earthed is a code 3 in snags and solutions. Same as unidentified wires. Hello by the way .
