It is most likely that the appliance is 220-240 Volts. Check the rating plate. If so you need to connect to that type of service and to a breaker that will handle the load. The 220-240 Volts is connected between Red and Black, White is neutral and provides 110-120 Volts between it and Red or Black. The Green is the ground.
It means that the wires has different colors on it. I have an awkward family
More information is needed as to what device you are connecting to what power supply. The only two identifiable wires are the white and green. In North America the white colour is used for the circuit's neutral and the green is used for grounding of devices.
Green= Ground Black = live White = Neutral
The wires for the left front window are red/black for up and green/black for white. For the right front window, the wires for up are red/white and the wires for down are green.
I am guessing that your 3 wires are black (hot), white (neutral) and bare or green wire (ground). Connect black to black, white to white and ground wire to the metal case of swag kit.
white wires are neutral. green wires are ground wires.
Green is ground and white is neutral.
In the electrical code in use in the United States, black is the "hot" side of the line, white the "neutral" and green is always "Ground".
Your black wires are your hot wires. The white is your neutral or common. It would be best to run an equipment ground (green wire) too.
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.
There is no configuration with that amount of wires. Proper connection requires three wires and a ground.
There are probably dozens of black and white wires under the hood. It is a normal color for a ground wire. With out knowing where it or the green wire go, I can not answer.There are probably dozens of black and white wires under the hood. It is a normal color for a ground wire.
