Electrical cable
Electrical cable. Cutaway end of a two-core and earth electrical cable. This cable has two insulated copper conductors and a bare solid copper earth wire. This type of cable is used in fixed electrical circuits, such as a lighting circuit. These colours (brown is live, and blue is neutral) must be used in new wiring in the UK from April 2006, under regulations that require the same colours to be used all over Europe. The changeover started in April 2004. For the old colours, see T194/604 or T194/613

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of an electrical cable, offering a glimpse into the inner workings of our modern-day power systems. The cutaway end reveals two insulated copper conductors and a bare solid copper earth wire, highlighting the essential components that make up this vital technology. Designed for fixed electrical circuits like lighting circuits, this particular type of cable adheres to strict regulations implemented across Europe since April 2006. The harmonization efforts within the European Union led to a standardized color coding system: brown for live wires and blue for neutral wires. This changeover began in April 2004 as part of an ongoing effort to ensure safety and consistency in electrical wiring practices. The image not only emphasizes the importance of proper insulation but also underscores how advancements in technology have revolutionized electricity distribution. With its sleek design and efficient structure, this cable represents the epitome of 21st-century innovation. As we marvel at this remarkable piece of equipment, it serves as a reminder that behind every flickering light bulb or humming electronic device lies a complex network of cables and wires working tirelessly to power our modern lives.
