5-9. MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES.
a.
Wire Color Codes.
WARNING
High voltage is present in this
PDISE supports equipment using
system.
DISE and
120/208 V ac. Do
not rely on the color of the wire insulation for
phase color-coding.
The insulation on the wires
inside the cable jacket may vary, depending on
the supplier.
Wires will be color coded to
designate the phases.
Perform a continuity test
to verify correct phase designation in accordance
with identified color.
CAUTION
When installing both a male and a female
connector on a
length
of bulk cable, the
connectors must be installed on particular cable
ends so that the wire colors match the connector
pin/socket positions as indicated in step (1)
below.
(1) DISE and PDISE service/feeder and pigtail cable wires are tagged
with color-coded tape and pin matched (Fig. 5-1 thru 5-3) as follows:
(a) Phase line A (L1) -
black wire connects to pin/socket
marked A.
(b) Phase line B (L2) - red wire connects to pin/socket marked
B.
(c) Phase line C (L3) - blue wire connects to pin/socket marked
C.
(d) Neutral line (LO)
- white wire connects to pin/socket
marked N.
NOTE
If there are one or more ground wires, connect to
pins marked G1, G2, G3, or G4 as applicable.
(e) Ground lines - green (or bare) wires connect to
pins/sockets marked G.
(2) DISE and PDISE extension and branch cable wires are color coded
and pin matched (Fig. 5-4) as follows:
(a) Phase line - black wire connects to pin/socket marked A.
