I have a couple sites where I used purple or blue for -48, but I have spools of red/black zipcord that I use a lot, and I assign red to voltage independent of polarity, so that black is ground. Then even if I use single wires, I make red voltage and black return in order to be consistent.
I think it would be even more confusing to have red be ground and black be-48V. Especially at mixed voltage sites that also have +24V. -----Original Message----- From: AF <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Adam Moffett Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2019 3:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] DC/DC converter question Some people use red for negative on -48V systems. I've got a -48V Alvarion Wimax thingamabob with a red and black pigtail coming out the back and the red is clearly labeled negative. So yeah, can't go by color unless you put that color there.

Not sure what the ground is relative to, not sure it really matters at this point but I'll check that out when I go out there later myself. > -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
