Re: 3 phase wire color code

MaintenanceForums

I am familiar with the brown, orange and yellow wire color code for 3 phase 480VAC. What is the correct order for 3 phase 208VAC. I'm finding conflicting information online.

Thanks in advance!

Asked a Journeyman Industrial Electrician and he said it depends, but usually black, red, blue. My current instructor at tech school is a Master Electrician and he says it's black, red, blue. I'm going with that...
