such things chose the bluest shade of green they could get by

The colour change in the UK was one of the worst ideas ever!
being faced with 3x brown wires and guessing which is L1, L2 and L3 is
about as useful as a brush with no bristles!
Red Yellow Blue / RYB always made sense to me as an on the tools
electrician. neutral was always black.

Gentlemen,
for clarification a few additions to the color (or coulour, for Andy)
system in electricity supply, used in Germany (DIN and VDE) and most of
Europe:
- First, always keep neutral and ground apart! The FI switch is designed
to trip at any connection between them, even in absence
And the new system is much better. Previously, when grubbing around in the
back of oily machinery, in poor lighting it was easy to get confused with
red yellow and blue wires ... the black/grey/brown colour scheme is much
easier to see ... errm?

UK fixed household wiring used to be red for live and black for neutral.

I suppose in some circles that bleached red could be called brown. But

Greetings all;
Peter in particular,
This is my first try at utilizing a prox switch, and while the led on it
responds just fine on 12 volts, I measure around 6 volts on the blue wire
when its off, and only 7.1 volts when its fired. With +12.0 volts on the
red wire. These are "PNP" switches.
