'Master' and 'slave': Tech terms face scrutiny amid anti-racism efforts
themadhippy:
so when are the american single phase wiring colours getting changed,cant have active blacks and white neutrals,what about the whites who want to be active or the blacks who prefer to be neutral
GeorgeOfTheJungle:
And why is GND always black and has a lower potential than any other colour?

In US mains cables white is neutral and black is live.

That's true. And on the subject of color codes, 0 is black, 1 is brown, 4 is yellow and 9 is white. Which is why we have rainbow cable, so all of the electrons can play nice. I just hope modern schools are not teaching the same ryhme/mnemonic for the resistor color code that they did in my engineering class. Because that would be really bad. No REALLY bad. :wtf:

What? Black boys rape our young girls but violet gives willingly? That's what we were taught, but in recent years it's become bad boys...
