Thread: Need Help: Dust Extractor Switch Conversion (Electrical Wiring)

I think stantons dusty is an old machine as some of the wiring colours have changed since then. Blue Wire – neutral wire replacing the old black wire. Brown Wire – live wire replacing the old red wire.

So after a little research & logic I managed to deduce which wires go where. Turned it on and blew up.

ONLY JOKING!. Everything works fine. Thanks for everyones help.

Here's my research notes:

The wire colour codes for Australia and which electricians follow are: Blue Wire – neutral wire replacing the old black wire. Brown Wire – live wire replacing the old red wire. Green or Yellow Wire – earth wire that contains green or yellow stripes.

The live wire is brown, the neutral is blue, and the earth is green and yellow in Australia.
