What is the usual preferred colour code for the three live and neutral phase conductors and earth (cpc) cables in France. This is with regard to industrial and domestic power.

RE: French Wiring Systems

(OP)
Thanks for that jabartos, since I posted the thread I've seen a copy of the French Regs. It seems quite clear that emphasis is mainly payed to the neutral which is to be light blue and earth gr/yl. I reckon that live phase conductors are usually black, but not always, as in most european countries. Flex would appear okay as Br,Blu,Gr/Yl.

RE: French Wiring Systems

Suggestion: There are so-called harmonizing norms or standards that are bringing differences to some degree of compatibility or IEC standards adherence.
