30. Motor Controller Example
• Wiring diagram for a motor
controller
• This system uses 3 phase AC power
(L1, L2, L3)
• The logic consists of two push button
Start push button
Stop push button
35. Electrical Wiring Color Codes for
AC and DC
• AC single phase & three phase and DC wire and cable color codes
There are multiple colors used for different wires and cables in different
regions for AC 1-Phase, 3-Phase and DC for design and installation based on
the local codes, rules and regulation.
Some of the well known are
NEC – National Electrical Codes (US and CANADA)
IEC – International Electrotechnical Commission (UK and European)
38. • Single Phase 230V AC
RED = Phase, Hot of Line (L)
BLACK = Neutral (N)
YELLOW/GREEN = Earth Conductor “Protective Earth” (PE)
• Three Phase 415+ AC
RED = Phase 1 or Line (l1)
YELLOW = Phase 2 or Line 2, (L2)
BLUE = Phase 3 or Line 3 (L3)
BLACK = Common Neutral (N)
YELLOW / GREEN = Earth Conductor “Protective earth” (PE)
