BS EN 60204 CABLE COLOURS ?

BS EN 60204 CABLE COLOURS ?

BS EN 60204 CABLE COLOURS ?

(OP)
CAN ANYONE GIVE ME THE RELEVANT PAGES FROM THE ABOVE STANDARD, I AM LOOKING FOR CABLE COLOURS FOR INSIDE A CONTROL PANEL

RE: BS EN 60204 CABLE COLOURS ?

Thread carefully here

While CENELEC have standard colours may countries have exceptions

e.g. UK:- Red, Yellow, Blue, Black, Green/Yellow (L1,L2,L3, N, PE)

Ireland (and most of the rest of the CENELEC countries)

Brown, Red, Yellow, Blue, Green/Yellow (L1,L2,L3, N, PE)

BUT

From the end of this year the colour codes will finally be finalised in Europe (including our English collegues)

to: Brown, Black, Grey, Blue, Green/Yellow (L1,L2,L3, N, PE)

I assume  when you mention BS EN that your application is in the UK. So you should use Red, Yellow, Blue, Black, Green/Yellow until the CENELEC paneuropean colour code is formally issued

Neutral        Light blue
A.C. control   Red
D.C. control   Blue
Ext interlock  Orange
Earth          Green/Yellow

Mighty confusing !!!!!
