Is this correct? Am I missing something? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

L = live terminal
N = neutral terminal

Blue = neutral
Yellow/Green = ground/earth
Red = live

Yellow/ green cable is EARTH!
The other two cables can be wired to either cable. To be. consistent and sure connect two cables with same colours. Brown with brown and blue with blue. It

Hi,

For those of us who can remember the old system, here is the old vs new.  The colours were changed in order for EU countries to have the same colours, which made a lot of sense.

Presuming this is a two phase system then:

EARTH wire: The earth wire will be green and yellow (or sometimes bare in old systems).

LIVE wire:The live wire is brown in new systems and red in old systems.

NEUTRAL wire: The neutral wire is blue in new systems and black in old systems

Have a shocking time
