Quite common here to see all black singles.

En60204 covers it. The only stipulation is that each phase is identified either by label or wire marker etc...
 
Not questioning that Rob. I’m talking about yellow green brown phase colours not being the European harmonised colours.

These are 240 parallel singles on ladder.

I know 60204 prefers black. Even though we use phase colours in anything we build. Whoever settled on the colours in there wanted a slap around the head.

Maybe that's the only colour tape the guy had in his toolbox at the time?

Maybe they will take it off when terminated and replace with suitable coloured heat shrink?

Although I've worked in Europe a few times now an not seen brown black grey.

obviously, because here in the UK, we're the only idiots that comply. every one else does what they want.
 
I'm confused as to why they are all labeled L2. Is that the panel designation, or circuit number...? I was expecting to see L1-L2-L3, or even 1-3-5, but colours aside, how can all these cables have the same L2 label, nomenclature doesn't logic...
