I dislike subjective questions like this....but I have to ask. The company I work for has a history of using brown wire for grounded DC returns.
I would like to get our Eng. design department to conform to NFPA79 because occasionally our tools must undergo field labeling to it. NFPA 79 asks for white with a blue stripe for this regime of circuit. Does anyone have an opinion on the risk of not following NFPA79 in this regard? Has a machine ever been refused a field label for something as non-safety related as the color of a DC ground return wire? All opinions welcome....sage and wise ones preferred. Lauren E.
