You should never switch the neutral wire. The neutral of the appliance should be connected directly to the neutral wire leading to the service panel neutral bar.

Does the neutral wire go on the silver screw when wiring switches or outlets?
No, the switch just breaks the hot side of the circuit. The incoming hot wire should be connected to the top screw and the load side of the switch should be connected to the bottom screw. The neutral wire is usually connected together with a wire nut and pushed to the back of the switch box.
Why is it always connected in the phase or line wire to the switch and not the neutral wire?
because its much safer to switch the hot wire then the neutral wire because if you are working on a light fixture for example and the switch is off if you ground yourself out to the neutral you become the load or return. a neutral shock can me more dangerous at times
I have Two black wires and one red wire conected to a switch. Which is hot and which is neutral?
It sounds like your switch is a three way switch. The wire that is on the different colour screw of the three screws will either be the "hot" wire or the wire to the load. The neutral might or might not be in the box that the switch is in depending on which end of the three way system you are at. See discuss question button below.No wires connected to a switch are neutral. A switch breaks the circuit of the hot wire. Black AND red are hot wires. White is used for neutral and is almost never connected to a switch.
Can you run two sets of 3 way switches with one 14-3 wire?
No. For any 3 way switch installation you need 2 "travelers" between switches and these conductors cannot be used for any other purpose. The 3rd wire is used for a neutral or switch leg, depending on the needs of the circuit, but is not connected to both switches. The neutral is not connected to either switch.
How do you wire a switch outlet combo circuit to an existing 3 way light switch?
A switch is just a break in your hot wire. Your incoming power is usually on the bottom of the switch. Hook that one up to the hot side(gold in color) of the receptical and either pull the other wire out or snip the end off that is exposed and put a wire nut on it. Now you have to have a neutral wire(white). If there's one in there that was not hooked to the top of the switch then hook it to the silver screw of the recep. If one is not in there you'll have to bring one to it and you'll be good to go.
Where on a Mazda auto 1994 is the park and neutral switch?
if you look on the transmission, you should see two wires connected to the neutral switch.
All three legs of my dimmer are hot?
If the hot is connected to the supply and it is turned on and the switch is turned on and the neutral not connected this could be quite true. Connect the neutral to the supply neutral and shut the switch off. Now the only reading that you should get is the hot supply.

Why should you not connect any electrical switch to the neutral instead of the phase?
IF Neutral is connected to the Switch then Live still exists on the socket even if the Switch is OFF.In such a situation a person can get a shock as Live can form a circuit thru the body to Ground.
Can the ignition switch have anything to do with speedometer not working or transmission not upshifting?
yes. the neutral safety switch is connected to all of them.
Had transision rebuilt now car wont start?
Could be the neutral safety switch is not properly installed or connected. Look for a wired switch plug terminal that may not be connected.

Where is the neutral safety switch 87 mighty max?
On the transmission you will see electrical wiring connected to it.

What is the white cable when connecting to a light switch?
On a light switch the white wire is neutral. All the neutral white wires are tied together under a wire nut and pushed back inside the box. The white is not connected to the switch.
