Ok, so what are the standards?
For years I used Blue for all my 24 volt DC, 16. or 14. It seems a bit big, and can be hard to make look ..... clean.
I know another panel builder and he uses Red and Black.
It makes sense in a way, you hand anyone on the planet a pair of Jumper cables, and they know the Red is + and Black is -. I see the logic for DC
The problem becomes in AC voltage black is Positive
But then you have cable(Belden 18-4, for instance) where Blue isn't even an option.
Then I came across some Black and red paired "Primary OFC" comes in the gauges I need for inside a panel, but It looks like it may be speaker wire. Well, that isn't very professional, so I am guessing that is out, right? Or no?
what are the rules?
