Why You Should Use Yellow Battery Cable for Negative DC

Why You Should Use Yellow Battery Cable for Negative DC in Your Marine Electrical System

According to ISO 13297:2021, if there is an AC system within the same craft, the DC negative cable must be yellow. This is to avoid mixing up the DC and AC negative lines, which could cause serious damage to the electrical equipment and pose a risk of electric shock. The DC positive cable can be any colour except green, yellow, light blue or black.
