Wire colors for 480V 3-ph systems in the US - Electrician Talk
WEBOct 14, 2021 · 208V 3-ph systems: L1 = BLACK L2 = RED L3 = BLUE N = WHITE PE = GREEN or GREEN/YELLOW. 480V 3-ph systems: L1 = BROWN L2 = ORANGE L3 = YELLOW N = GRAY PE = GREEN or GREEN/YELLOW. When I google standard wire colors in USA, it matches with this spec. So far so good.
Is there a Resistivity of Conductors (K) chart in the NEC?
WEBSep 15, 2010 · The K factor isn't specifically stated in the NEC, but wire sizes and their circular mils and resistance are. Using these, you can derive it from the tables in the NEC. For example, Chapter 9, Table 8 says that 1000 kcmil uncoated copper at 75 degrees has a resistance of 0.0129 ohms/kft, suggesting that a conductor of 1 circular mil 1000 ft ...
