Hello Paul,
Welcome aboard! What is the standard voltage in homes in England. Do you follow the National Electrical code there, or do they have their own?

hello sjt... we always say our voltage is 240.. but they are trying to harmonize with europe.. so we have dropped to 230v and they have gone up to 220v ( i think ) thing is when you put you voltmeter across the mains it still seems to read 240v..

we have our own regulations,, BS5371.. thats british standard.. written in gobbely gook..

cable colours are.. live red... neutral.. black... earth... green and yellow

in flex they are live.. brown..blue...neutral,,, earth... green and yellow
