Which Electrical Tape Colours Mean What on a UK Job?

In current UK wiring, brown is live, blue is neutral and green and yellow is earth. On three phase work, brown, black and grey identify the three lines.

Coloured tape is used to re-identify conductors, for example when an older cable colour needs to show its current function. Always follow BS 7671 and your company's procedures, and get it checked by a qualified person.
