White isn't a standard ground wire color. Maybe someone changed something

the US, while Green with a yellow stripe meets international standards.
I've seen blue/brown/white used for 240V ungrounded twist-lock connectors
before, but I'm certain these machines require 120V at 20A.
It should have a green base color if it's a ground wire.
I'm going to attempt to uncover one of my machines today and snap some
pics for you.

What colour are the 3 loose wires ? Try one of
the following
colour sets
:
US Old UK New UK/European/International?
Earth Green Green Green/Yellow
Neutral White Black Blue
Live Black Red Brown
I think it's actually blue, brown, and white. Blue being neutral,
brown live, and white earth, it seems. I could take the panel off
and check, but I'm not at home right now. Of course it
might be something non-standard, but if those are the
colours, it's a good bet that's how they're used.
Very close to the third option above, but not quite. Maybe it's a
really pale yellow ;) That's how
I'd wire it... Never seen one, though, so I can't
be _certain_
Well, we're in nearly the same boat here. This is the only one I've
seen, and it has all the wires loose. ;)
