USA appliance flex colours?

Jul 23, 2005 3 Replies

Hello,



I have a power supply unit that originally had a (moulded) american style mains plug on the end.



I have a Black, White and a Green core, anyone know which is which?



Before anyone asks, yes the PSU will accept 230V 50Hz.



Thanks in advance.

Black=Phase

White=Neutral

Green=Ground (Earth)

The cord is usually rated for 300v RMS, so you should be good to go.

I concur with chip.

(in case it helps Phase = Live)
