Wire colour- urgent

[IanJ]

I just received my Lumenarc pendants and i am wiring them up now.

The wires are white, black and green. The green is the neutral, but can someone urgently tell me which is the live and which is the neutral.
(here they are brown and blue)
Many thanks

I am assuming you live in England or Canada. The green is ground. Black is hot, and white is common (neutral).

Singapore.

Many thanks for quick answer

No problem. Ah, I forgot about Singapore.

By the way, you can interchange the black and white wires in the US with no ill effect. I still prefer to keep the black wire hot.

I heard that some parts of Canada use 220v and metric plumbing. :).

I went off the fact that he used "colour".:)

Canada have 220v and 110v.

220v for dryer/water heater, heater, some AC, stove.

110/220v hot is black and red, common/neutral is white, ground is green :)

We use imperial ruling for plumbing too :)
