Discuss 3 core twin and earth cable what colour should you use as the neutral in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net
IMO it would be better to have the "wrong" core used so long as it is sleeved correctly rather than the "correct" core unsleeved.

Black, Blue and Brown in one, 2 Red and a Brown in another and a Yellow/Green and blue in the last................QUALITY
It would appear that an earth is being used as a live conductor?
In that case, should it be sleeved grey?Seen that done before with SWA as neutral
In that case, should it be sleeved grey?
No it shouldn't be sleeved grey, just me taking the ****.
Not quite Nick. There needs to be a standard so we all know what is going on, that's the idea of having identification in the first place. In a 2 way all are line conductors so there is no ambiguity, whereas in a switched circuit (IE PIR) ther has to be one who is neutral, and thats grey. Using yellow as the CPC and blue as neutral in RYB colours was easy as blue was then recognised as neutral in flexes, and yellow... well that's obvious. When the new colours were introduced the NIC and others were quick to make a standard to enable all to understand the colours, it will make your life easier if you go to a job and there is no sleeving!
