Tagging conductors in a 480 V panel or motor control centre goes faster when the markers already carry phase colours. The Klein Tools 56252 wire marker book has numbers 1 to 48 printed in brown, orange and yellow, the colour scheme used on 277/480 V three-phase systems. Low numbers get extra pages because they get used most.
Why electricians pick it
- Brown, orange and yellow print on white to follow 277/480 V phase colours.
- Vinyl-coated cloth markers (8 mil) with strong-tack adhesive that conform around round wire.
- Large, easy-to-read print on 1/4 x 1-1/2 in markers.
- Odd and even markers sit on separate pages, and each page is perforated.
- Markers can be split lengthwise for thin wire.

Pro tip from the counter
Brown-orange-yellow is the U.S. convention for 480 V phases. On Canadian jobs, check which phase identification the drawings and the inspection authority expect before you mark, and use this book where U.S.-built equipment or the job spec calls for BOY.
Best for: 480 V panel and MCC terminations, motor lead identification, control panel builds for U.S.-spec equipment, service and troubleshooting labelling
