George and PSNet,
Ahh... this triggers a similar situation from a past life....
seems that the company had specified the use of the IEC colors for all
power cords... but the supplier thought that since the power plug was
moulded-on the color of the internal wires didn't matter and they wanted to
use their normal black/white/green wires... upon my visit to a foreign
service center, the manager drug me into the service work area and asked me
to explain the discrepancy to the service technicians who were replacing
plugs at a furious rate since the customers complained that their
electricians didn't know which wire went where... so the explanantion from
the supplier when I returned... needless to say, we had to again emphasize
that we really wanted the lite-blue/brown/green-yellow wire in the
assembly... I would have thot that, by now, this would have disappeared as
an issue... c'est la vie... newbies are born every day -both buying and
selling...
What's the lesson? better adopt the test house motto: Trust and
verify!
