I recently acquired a e-stim 2B. My 2B came with 2 leads, each lead has a black and yellow pin. if I tri-phase, which color is the common Black or yellow?

The common connection is formed by connecting together one wire from channel A and one wire from channel B. This results in a total of three connections for electrodes.

The wires you connect together can be both black, both yellow, or one of each. I'm told that, because the wave forms on each channel are asymmetrical, you get different results depending on which wires you combine. However, I've never really investigated that, and I suspect the difference is marginal anyway.

Don't forget you can get a ready-made triphase cable from various suppliers, including E-Stim Systems themselves. However, by combining the two wires I mentioned in a CR loop, by plugging one into each end, you can create your own triphase solution.
