With the new colours. Could you be colour blind and be a sparky now ?
colour blind is an inability to distinguish certain colours now if this means you have issues in electrics then yes its an issue but as colour blindness varies between different people and colours not all will be affected.
This is why green earth was banned as it was hard to tell from red to someone with that particular blindness so they made it stripey.
Its only an issue if your cannot distinguish the colours and nothing more,
So your colour blind uk ?
Whats one of these called?With the new colours. Could you be colour blind and be a sparky now ?
I also eat Electrical Trainee and DIYers.Well you are an ogre. You must eat brains
i had to do an eye test for jtl.Yep, yet another once universal test that's probably been dropped completely for entry into the electrical industry. Why is it that everything seems to revolve around simple domestic installations, when there is a big world out there of high end industrial and commercial installations.
So what do these new colour blind electricians do when they are confronted with and old installation, or multi coloured control cable wiring et,c etc, etc?? There is/was a reason behind colour blindness testing, and it still holds today!!
Someone mentioned that some cables have washed out colours, these will normally be XLPE insulated cables, where quite often the colours are near transparent compared with PVC insulated conductors, especially in SWA cables...
