In industrial wiring 'three phase' green or bare copper is the norm for a ground. In home wiring 220/110 single phase, bare copper is the ground

What are black with green and black with white wires mean?
It means that the wires has different colors on it. I have an awkward family
What is the difference and how to differentiate between neutral and hot wires if both wires have the same color?
If the electrical box is grounded, check with a tester, the "hot" wire will have a voltage to the the grounded box the neutral wire will not. If the box is not grounded, with the breaker supplying the voltage turned off, use a tester on the resistance scale to check for continuity between the wires and a cold water pipe or some other grounded medium. The neutral will have continuity between the wire and a ground the "hot" wire will not.
Lamp that has 2 white wires and one green wire which one is the hot wire?
Green wire must be grounded for safety. The two white wires are phase and neutral. You can discover which one is the hot wire by using a mulltimeter. But there is no needing to discover it. About the green wire only an electrician can install it properly. It can be joined to the neutral wire, but it is not advisable for any electrical device. The correct procedure is to connect the ground wire on the recommended manner. Normally lamps do not need to be grounded.
Does the 230-240 volt circuit consist of 3 wires 2 black and 1 white?
This is not a cut and dry answer as it depends on the application. 240v only needs two wires to operate with a green (ground) for safety. Single phase (residential) 240 wires are generally black and red (or a red tracer), but the National Electric Code does not stipulate the colors (as long as they are not green or white). Three phase colors are generally black, red, and blue and also require a green ground (as does EVERY electrical application). The white wire is a grounded conductor. It is only used in 110v applications. For 240v home appliances such as ranges or dryers, 110v is required for the controls so the cable would contain a green (or bare) ground, a white (for the 110v, and a black and red for the 240v. Things like water heaters that don't require control voltage don't need the white wire. Pinky
What colour wires are live and ground in 96 mondeo?
Normally Red, Black, or Orange are hot and Green, or Possibly Brown are ground. To be sure, use a voltmeter, set for 12 volts D.C. and check each wire for current. Once you have isolated the wires carrying voltage. then switch to OHMS and check the other wires. Wires that are grounded will show a reading in OHMS.

How many wires does a parallel ATA cable have?
A parallel ATA cable has 40 wires. Some high performance cables have 80, but there are only 40 distinct wires - with every other wire being grounded to minimize cross-talk.
An electric fence exists around a garden which has eight wires seven of which are hot one which has no power and is not grounded Why on touching this wire does one receive a small shock?
There could be two explanations. One that there is an induction from the other wires depending on how close the proximity of this wire is to the others. The second and most likely is that there is a resistive load separating it from the other wires. Shut the fence off and check the junctions where the wires are spliced to one another. Look for corrosion or a white powdery dust where the wires are spliced. Clean it up and see if that corrects the condition.
What 2 colours are the neutral wires in a plug?
The two permissible colors for neutral conductors, according to the NEC, are white and gray.

on ceiling fan and light ficture, what colored wires go where i have black, red green blue and white wires?
The wires should try to connect to the correct colors of the wires that are attached to the wall. I would also read the user manual to find out where everything is attached.

Answer There should be at least 4 to wires. Four of those wires are for your speakers, the other two, one red is for power and the black on for a ground
