ECN Forum Forums Photo Discussion Forums Violation Photo Forum What's Wrong With This Picture?

Is it my imagination, or does it look like Cø and N {blue/white} are flopped on the upper and lower sides of the switch?

Scott,
This is the first job I used the colored wire on. I had some problems with the way the manufacturers marked it so I not sure I will use it again until the perfect the marking process.
Bjarney,
Check your display settings. The wire colors in the picture are brown, orange yellow and grey.

Man, those Colored (other than Black) Conductors look SWEET!!!

At first, I thought that Nick had the art of Colored Tape Wire Wrapping down to a Genius level!!!

These are like size 3/0 or 4/0 AWG, aren't they?
At least they appear to be >#2...

What's the price difference and availability of B.O.Y. + Gray colored Insulation sized >#1 AWG / vs / Plain-old Black Insulation?

I Assume (read "Ass-U-Me") the colors of Red, Blue, Violet/Purple, White and Green are also available.

If the price is right and available in a reasonable time, might consider using on future projects!

Hey Scott,
The colored wire in the picture is 350 Kcmil. Yes it is available in all colors and allot of the major suppliers are stocking it now. Price is about 5 to 10% more that regular black insulation. There is some labor cost savings in all the time you don't have to spend identifying wire during and after pulls and possible cross phasing mistakes. You have to look at the job and decide for yourself if it's worth it.
This is the first job I tried it on because the shop was pushing it. I had a few problem with on particular manufacturers method of making the insulation though. It was non existent! They had to come out to the job and mark the wire, write letters to the city etc... What a mess. I am assured they have fixed the problem however.

Nick, apologies for my old monitor. It looked like blk-red-wht-blu {versus blk-red-blu-wht} here... er, sorry, B-O-Y-Grey.

But real colored 350kcmil!?! Cool.
