Would you know much on Industrial Sockets for construction site applications.Hi, Looking for advise on industrial phase colours.
On 480 volt 3 phase power then use brown, orange and yellow for phases. On 208/102 three phase the phase arrangement is black, red and blue. Hope this helps and welcome to the forum. Good luckWould you know much on Industrial Sockets for construction site applications.
Also on 277 volts and as stated above use gray as your neutral.On 480 volt 3 phase power then use brown, orange and yellow for phases. On 208/102 three phase the phase arrangement is black, red and blue. Hope this helps and welcome to the forum. Good luck
I never said that the NEC required these colors. If you used the color coding that you said in industrial and commercial jobs you would probably get run off. We are not in Motorola.There is NO NEC color code except for green, white, gray and the orange identifier for the 120/240 3 phase services. Which are rarely used any more.
Motorola uses BROWN, YELLOW and ORANGE for 120/208v
BLACK,RED and BLUE for 277/480v Which is backward from what most people use in my area.
Thanks, the panel I am looking at manufacturing is single phase with receptacles 20A 120V and 30A 230V. Would you know if the switchgear has to be UL certified?On 480 volt 3 phase power then use brown, orange and yellow for phases. On 208/102 three phase the phase arrangement is black, red and blue.

Hi Guys,I never said that the NEC required these colors. If you used the color coding that you said in industrial and commercial jobs you would probably get run off. We are not in Motorola.
Your from a place called construction site??Would you know much on Industrial Sockets for construction site applications.
All panels and equipment has to be UL approved in the US. Good luckThanks, the panel I am looking at manufacturing is single phase with receptacles 20A 120V and 30A 230V. Would you know if the switchgear has to be UL certified?
Hi, Thanks for the heads up, a question around the NEC does this comply across all states in the US. When you suggested the local authority for the state it will be installed. Would you be able to point me in the direction if I identify the state.Some areas of the USA are heavy sticklers into a UL listings. Some are not.
You need to know where the panel is being installed and then check with the local authority. I sure hope you plan on using USA manufactures for the panel and outlets.
Some of the IEC stuff looks very foreign to inspectors.
If your original question had stated single phase would have cleared up your intentions.
What state are you referring to? You can probably google and for example NC Board of examiners of electrical contractors or NCBEEC. As far as I know all states have to have panels or equipment UL listed. There is engineering companies in every state that have licenses to UL list it.
