-
Neutral: usually white or white wire bundle, commonly daisy-chained from box to box
-
Load: usually black, from a separate cable jacket
-
Ground: bare copper wire or metal fixture (if grounded)
Identifying the Electrical Wires in Your Home (Europe/Australia/New Zealand)
-
As wire colors vary from country to country, make sure you always check your electrical wires with a voltage meter to
correctly identify line, load, neutral and ground wires
