Best Answer

It is wired through circuits. Series, Parallel and Complex circuits with 3 components: power source, conductors and connectors, and transducer or the loads of electric circuits.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.

Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Will it work wired wrong?

No, it will be dangerous. Electricity is very dangerous and installation codes are not written simply to make things work but to make them safe. There are many electrical situations that will work fine even if wired incorrectly. The determination of what is correct or incorrect is what is most safe if something goes wrong. So the question one should ask is not, does it work. But ask the question, If something goes wrong, is this the safest way to have wired this circuit. Only competent electricians who are familiar with and fluent with applicable codes can sufficiently answer this question.
