Everything I build was real -unfortunately....
Connectors and cable colours
«

As I reach the end stretch of building my current model I am faced with the eternal problem of uniting the removable bodywork with the chassis... My normal method is the build everything onto a circuit board and screw that to the roof. But, in the EE-1 this is not possible.
SO
I am left with a plethera of cables and connectors all of which have to be ratified and united into a simple (messy) whole....
I have cribbed badly from my professional background and it has been said that my wiring is more computer than model(!)
Here are the connectors and colour codings that I have been using for my "standards"
Black
Negative DC
Red
Positive DC
Yellow & Blue
DC of opposing but variable polarity
Green
0 Volts
Orange
5 Volts TTL Power
Pink
TTL High
Purple
TTL Low
White
Data stream (R/C, PIC etc)
Black/Yellow
trace AC phase 1
Blue/Yellow
trace AC phase 2
Brown/Yellow
trace AC phase 3
Grey/Yellow
trace AC phase 4
Green/Yellow
trace EARTH
I normally use Lucar spades and bullets for my "power" systems and small bunches of low power voltage cables will be connected via 25 pin and 9 pin serial connectors. Wherever possible I twist cables to prevent inductive noise...
