Wiring a cooker. Which colour is neutral, live, earth from red, black, blue, brown, yellow. Thank you.?

Question

In other words old wiring Red and black. Modern wiring is blue, brown and yellow/green. Looking to update my knowledge.

Answer 1

L - Brown , N - Blue, Earth - Yellow and Green

Answer 2

Red is live (think red you're dead). Black is neutral. Green is earth. They were the old colours. Now the colours are blue neutral (first part of neutral rhymes with blue if you wish to remember this way). Brown is live - think brown knocks you down. Yellow/green is earth wire. Hope this helps you to remember in future. The live wires are the dangerous ones.

New colours brown is live, blue is neutral and green/ yellow is earth

Answer 5

Live should either be red old cable

Brown if new cable

Earth Green (old cable) Green and Yellow bands new cable.



If you are putting in a complete new cooker circuit you will have to get it done by a part p approved contractor
