How do you wire a three wire oven outlet if you have two black wires and one ground?
If you have two black wires and one ground wire, you can connect one black wire to one of the hot terminals on the outlet, the second black wire to the other hot terminal, and connect the ground wire to the ground terminal. Make sure to turn off the power before attempting any wiring to ensure safety. If there is a neutral wire present in the outlet box, it must be connected as well.
Both black wires should connect on the outer 2 terminals and the white wire on the center terminal
Sounds to me like whatever circuit you're trying to connect the oven to is not meant for the oven. You need the same wires to run back to the panel as the ones in your wall oven.

How you know if the wires black and white are mixed?
You use a known ground and check them for voltage. You can use an extension cord to reach from a ground to the wires you are testing. You are not putting it in an outlet, just to connect you to a ground.
What side of the outlet do the red and black wires go on 220 outlet?
In a 220 volt outlet, the red and black wires are typically connected to the two hot terminals of the outlet. The white wire is connected to the neutral terminal and the green or bare wire is connected to the ground terminal. It's important to consult a professional electrician to ensure proper installation.
You have two white wires and two black wires which one is the ground?
black wire is hot wire .And the white is the common or white is ground. Depends on what your talking about in an outlet or car battery. In a outlet the ground wire is green or bare copper. neutral is red and hot is black (I remember it by hot can kill you so black is death) if I am not mistaken. As for a car battery i think it's the opposite red is hot and black is neutral.
Why would an outlet have two black wires two white wires one red wire and a ground?
An outlet with two black wires, two white wires, one red wire, and a ground wire likely indicates a split receptacle, where one half of the outlet is controlled by one circuit (red and black wires), and the other half is controlled by a different circuit (black and white wires). The white wires are neutral, the black and red wires are hot, and the ground wire is for safety.
How do you wire alight fixture with three black wires three white wires three grounds?
You will connect the three black wires together, the three white wires together, and the three ground wires together. Use wire nuts to secure the connections. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and make sure to turn off the power before proceeding.
When wiring a range the outlet has a neutral ground and 2 hots you have three wires do you put the bare wire in the neutral or ground on the outlet?
the bare copper is always a ground

On three wire spin dryer cord which color green white?
On a 3 wire dryer cord there is no green wire. The white wire coming from the outlet is connected to ground or the green screw. The black and red wires are the hot wires.

Why are wires twisted together on a GFCI outlet box?
The ground wires are twisted together and then connected to the GFCI ground. The black and white wires may also be twisted together and then using a jumper wire connected to the GFCI. Hard to say without seeing exactly how it is wired.
Configuration for 50 amp dryer plug with black white and green wires?
For a 50 amp dryer plug with black, white, and green wires, connect the black wire to one of the hot terminals, the white wire to the neutral terminal, and the green wire to the ground terminal on the outlet. Make sure to follow all safety guidelines and use appropriate wiring techniques to ensure proper installation and functionality of the dryer.
Originally a 240V line running from the 50A circuit to a box contaning in line fuses from this box came a 240V cable having 2 black wires and wire braid do I wire the outlet stove as a 3 or 4 prong?
Based on the description, it sounds like you should wire the stove outlet as a 3-prong outlet since the cable you have appears to have two hot wires and a ground wire (wire braid). Connect the two black wires to the hot terminals and the wire braid to the ground terminal on the stove outlet. Remember to ensure that the circuit is properly grounded for safety.
What are the colors of the wires on a duplex outlet?
Black, white, and copper.
How do you wire a 3 wire exhaust fan to a 4 wire outlet?
The fan is probably a 115 VAC single phase fan and the outlet is probably a 230 VAC "two phase" outlet. The fan would then have the following wires: hot (black), neutral (white), and ground (green). The outlet would then have the following wires: hot #1 (black), hot #2 (red), neutral (white), and ground (green). Pick either of the two hot wires on the outlet and connect the hot wire of the fan to that (ignore the other hot wire on the outlet) and connect the neutral to neutral and ground to ground. If the wire colors are not as I described above you may have something else (e.g. 3-phase) and that would be wired differently, but those systems are usually used only in industrial settings not the home.
