    Extensions or repairs to existing three-phase installations should use brown, black, grey and blue wires for phases L1, L2, L3 and neutral respectively. At connection points between old and new wiring, phases and neutral must be clearly identified using sleeves marked L1, L2, L3 and N to avoid confusion from different color standards. Great care is needed when working with installations using multiple wiring color standards to properly identify all conductors.

    NEW WIRINGCOLOURS

    Extensions, alterations or repairs to an existing three-phase installation


    An extension, alteration or repair to an existing installation should be wired in the colours of brown, black, grey & blue, and green-and-yellow.

    Identification requirements three-phase installations


    At the wiring interface(s) where an extension, alteration or repair is made with cable to the new colours to a three-phase installation wired in the old colours, unambiguous identification is required at the interface. Neutral conductors, where identified by colour, must be identified by the colour blue. Old and new phase conductors should be fitted with sleeves marked L1, L2 and L3, and neutral conductors should be fitted with sleeves marked N to avoid any possibility of confusion.
