The white (or neutral) wire is not involved in a 220 circuit.

Using US NEC conventions, red and black in a 120/240 split phase service form the 240 (220) circuit. The neutral (white) wire is only used when you want 120 (110) volts.

Which wire goes on the ground fault receptacle?

In normal home wiring the black and white supply the circuit voltage. The green conductor connects to the green screw. The black conductor connects to the brass coloured screw and the white conductor connects to the silver coloured screw. There are additional terminals on the receptacle that connect to the down stream side of the circuit. By making these connections on the GFI receptacle all downstream normal duplex receptacles are also protected.

Can you get a shock from a white wire?

YES the white wire can shock. There are a few reasons why it might: 1) the white wire is actually connected to a switch. When the installer connects the white wire from the switch to the light, the National Electric Code requires the white wire to be "hot", and to be marked to indicate that it is hot. Sometimes this doesn't happen. The problem comes later when Joe homeowner replaces the light fixture. He sees the white wire with a black mark or maybe not, and connects the white wire to all of the other white wires. When the switch is turned on, the black wire that he placed on the other side of the switch connects to the white wire and trips the breaker. When Mr. Homeowner checks it out, touching the white wire gives him a shock. 2) The white wire returns the current to the source of the circuit. When the white wire is shared with two circuits, It returns the current from both circuits to the panel. When someone (even a professional) turns off only one of the circuit breakers to these circuits, the white wire still carries the current from the second LIVE circuit. If the person is replacing a receptacle withonly one of these circuit breakersoff, he or she could touch the white wire (called an open neutral) and get a shock from the returning current from the second circuit.

What color is single phase electrical supply?

In the US system, the hot phase is designated by a color other than white, except that bare or green is non-current carrying, or safety, ground. In a 120/240 split phase system, the most common home system, hot is black in a 120 volt circuit, and the two hots are black and red in a 240 volt circuit. Also, switched hot in a 120 volt circuit is red, but it does not really matter as the rule is "white is neutral" and "non-white is hot".Can someone add to this, please, for the UK and other systems.Answer'Phases' are not identified in three-phase systems. Colours, letters, or numerals are used to identify lines. The UK's and other EU countries' nominal single-phase supply voltage is 230 V at 50 Hz. The conductors are identfied as follows in line with EU standards:line (not 'phase') conductor brownneutral conductor blueprotective conductor green/yellow stripeFor three-phase (400/230 V) systems, the line conductors are coloured brown, black, and grey.Prior to the EU harmonisation requirements, the UK's single-phase conductors were coloured as follows, and these will be found in all installations that pre-date the EU requirements:line conductor redneutral conductor blackprotective conductor greenFor three-phase systems, the line conductors were coloured red, yellow, and blue.

What standard colors of wire would you use for a neutral on 120 Volt and 277 Volt three phase four wire systems?

For 120/208v 3 phase system: black, red, blue, white For 277/480v 3 phase system: brown, orange, yellow, gray Phase colors are not stipulated in the code book for the United States. The above colors are used by convention. Neutrals, however, must be white or gray.
