Name That Voltage

The only way to tell the voltage is with a volt meter--the black/red/blue color choice is perhaps suggestive of one standard voltage, but color choice is not mandatory. The lack of an orange conductor means if the installation is in accordance with the NEC, for any standard voltage system commonly seen in practice, the white conductor will be a neutral conductor for a 3 phase system.

Although only a meter can confirm voltage with absolute certainty, standard color codes are industry standard and used every single day in real life. Can someone please answer the question as to what voltage this is set up for?

Thanks for participating!! As usual, you are correct. There is one more thing though........what is it?

GEC does not go directly to the utility ground....Someone smarter than me has the code section...."Supplemental" they can go to the can, but not the primary or only one....
