    What is the low and high voltage color code for different countries and standards? I haven't found a comprehensive guide.

    Gonzo what you really need to worry about is the strands, you have A battery cable (usualy rates at 600volts)and also a marine primary cable. if your interested theres a good bit of information from Peter Kennedy Yachts, http://www.pkys.com/Wire_and_Cable.htm
    Hope it helps,

    I can calculate the wire gage and type. There are different standards for color coding depending on voltage and application.
