Popular Uses of BT-48 Electrical Tape by Color
- Black: Most common and versatile. Used as the default for insulating and splicing wires. Always in stock and heavily purchased by contractors and electricians.
- Red: Frequently used to indicate secondary or phase B wiring in 3-phase circuits. Also used in low-voltage or switch legs.
- White: Standard for neutral conductors. Widely used in residential and commercial wiring.
- Green: Universally used to identify ground wires. Required by code in many electrical systems.
- Blue: Often used for low-voltage, traveler wires, or phase C. Common in 3-way switch installations and data cabling.
- Yellow: Used for phase A or sometimes control wiring. Less common than red or black but still widely stocked.
- Brown: Typically used in industrial or 480V systems. Less frequent in consumer or residential use.
- Orange: Used in high-leg delta systems or as a traveler wire in some 3-way applications.
- Gray: Sometimes used for neutral in certain industrial systems, but less standardized.
- Purple: Used in custom coding schemes.
