Daffy D Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Was browsing round HomePro the other day and noticed the rolls of twin power cable were coded in Brown/Blue not the usual Black/Grey. Has Thailand changed it's electrical wire color coding or is this just an odd batch? This could lead to some interesting future house wiring set ups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCor Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I've seen this available here for a few years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Why don't they also have brown/blue/yellow-green and 3 pin plugs ? They have sockets with 3 pins but plugs ....hard to find PS except in the center of the universe Bangkok where everything can be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have seen there has been a complete change over in the last few years at what the stores are selling. The new standard is brown-blue-green (L-N-G). And the ground wire is now the same size as the conductors instead of being down a step like they used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Indeed brown, blue, yellow+green is usual nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Looks like the "official" change is in effect since seven years. old (1988) on the left vs. new (2010) on the right. Black and grey would be used for additional phases (L2,L3). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
