Neutral (N) Wire Color Identification in Robotiq Palletizing Workcells
Clarifying IEC compliance for neutral wire color and labeling in our control cabinet
Context:
Installers and integrators in Europe often ask about the neutral wire color used in Robotiq's control cabinet. This article clarifies how our labeling approach aligns with IEC 60445:2021 requirements.
Information:
IEC 60445:2021 recommends blue for neutral when color alone is used.
Clause 6.2.2 allows alternatives such as terminal numbering or markings.
Robotiq Palletizing Workcell uses consistent, IEC-compliant labeling.
Non-blue neutral wires are valid if clearly marked.
Conclusion:
Robotiq's electrical design meets IEC standards and ensures safe, compliant installation.
