World Wide Color Scheme
World Wide Color Scheme
(OP)
I understand that EN 60204 says that conductors can be identified with consecutively numbered black conductors. I have a five conductor flexible cord intended to supply three phase power to some equipment. The cord is packaged up with a receptacle attached and is sent to the installations sites, the current cord conductors are colored; green, black, white, red and orange. This cord is not acceptable in EU installations, but is fine for US locations. Is the consecutively numbered black conductor scheme acceptable in the US? Is there a world wide color scheme, that would allow this cord to be installed anywhere?

The basic restrictions in the NEC world are that a green wire MUST be ground, and a white wire MUST be neutral. These colors can't be used for anything else.
See NEC Articles 200 and 210 for more details.
