the swapping of blue and black between the old and new colours must be
confusing and responsible for a few bangs!


Anyone incapable of transposing the colours really shouldn't be playing
with electricity, let alone 3 phase.


However, troubles can arise when there are modern additions to an older
installation. "is that Black (or Blue) a phase or a neutral?"
