Assuming you are asking about the flexible cord going from an appliance to its plug, the standard wire colors for flexible cable - such as extension cords, power (line) cords and lamp cords - are stated in the Australia & New Zealand Standards (AS/NZS 3000:2007 3.8.1)

Live: brown

Neutral: light blue

Protective earth/ground: green/yellow

For DC power black is negative and Red is positive. For AC power the colours are brown for the phase or live wire (that is the one that will give you shock) blue for neutral and green and yellow stripe for earth.

Where do the 2 wires go from the little white plug on the alternator on a 82 Suburban 350?

A 95 LeSabre, with the factory alternator, would typically have one larger wire to the back of the unit, then a regulator plug on the side. The large wire is the battery connection, and is usually connected, using a fusible link, to the battery connection at the starter. The regulator connection I couldn't say for sure without the wiring diagram for the vehicle, but usually one wire always has voltage, and the other has voltage when the ignition key is turned on.

What type of conductors shall be used for wiring on fixture chains?

The type of wire you are looking for is called lamp cord. It comes in different colours usually to match the fixture. Fixtures hanging from chains use a clear insulation so as to blend in with the fixture chain colour. Remember that the smooth wire of the lamp cord connects to the hot wire and the ribbed wire on the lamp cord connects to the neutral wire in the ceiling junction box.

Wiring diagram of plug wire and their order?

With the cover off the plug and looking from the back at the screws the "Live" wire [generally red or brown] goes to the Left - and the "Neutral" wire [generally green] gos to the Right.Another way of putting this would be to say that the red wire must be connected to the prong that goes into the Left hole in the plug outlet in the wall.It is good practice to coil the earth wire in the plug so that, should the lead by tugged hard, it will be the LAST wire to become disconnected from the screws in the plug.AnswerCorrection .... sorry!! With the cover off the plug and looking from the back at the screws the "Live" wire [generally red or brown] goes to the Left - and the "Neutral" wire [generally BLUE] goes to the Right. The Earth [genarally green] goes to the centre prong - assuming it is a 3-pin plug.


Which side of an extension cord is hot how can you tell the difference?

If you are constructing an extension cord make sure that the ends go on the right end of the cable. Match the wire end when looking at it, to the proper pin configuration of the plug. A non locking plug will be a 6-30P or a locking plug will be a L6-30P. On a 6-30P plug, black wire to the left blade (brass in colour), white wire to the Y terminal (silver in colour) and the green wire to the G terminal (green in colour). On a L6-30P plug, black wire to the X terminal, white wire to the Y terminal and the ground wire to the G terminal.Looking at the end of the cable it should be matched to this configuration. If it doesn't look at the other end of the cable. No wires should cross when connecting to the blades on the plug, if they do you have the wrong end of the cable.
