Default 30 amp inline GFCI wiring

I have this 30 amp inline GFCI extension cord (haven't done anything with it yet) but noticed last night it has a black, a brown and a blue wire, as well as the ground. Offhand, anyone know which wires are which?



I assume the blue wire is neutral with the black and brown being hot...

I dont know that color coding. Just use a continuity tester.

The insulation of a neutral wire is coloured blue in EU & UK. But I would still use a meter to check.

What was mentioned in post 2. Use a continuity meter.

Normally on a 4 prong dryer plug your 2 straight plugs are hot, L shaped plug neutral, and round plug ground. Now you just have to check for continuity between the prongs and the colored wires to determine which prong is what colored wire.
