Black electrical wire is used for power in all circuits. Any circuit's black wire should be considered hot or live. Black wire is never used for a ground or neutral wire and should be used as the power feed for a switch or an outlet. A black wire is often used in a circuit as a switch leg, the connection that runs from the switch to the electrical load.
Red electrical wire indicates the secondary live wires in a 220-volt circuit, used in some types of switch legs and in the interconnection between smoke detectors that are hard-wired into the power system. You can connect a red wire to another red wire or to a black wire.
In most cases, no. red is usually the hot wire and black the ground, but follow them to be sure as it may have been rewired and insulation not relevant to function. red and black coding are generally used to distinguish the two.
On an AC circuit for electric heating where no neutral wire is used, red jacketed red and black 2 wire is used.
On a DC circuit red and black wires are used to differentiate between the positive and negative polarities.
When the colours red and black are used together it usually refers to DC wiring. The red conductor terminates on the positive of the power supply and the black conductor terminates on the negative of the power supply.
In North America the use of red and black conductors in AC systems can be used as any current carrying conductors. The only identified specific colours used in AC systems are white and green. White for neutral and green for ground.
Both red and black wires carry current.
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.
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.
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".

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.
Ground wires are typically bare wire or green covered. Common wires are white and hot wires are black. If you have black wires that are grounds or commons you should contact an electrician to ensure you don't have a problem on your hands. Sounds like someone who didn't know what they were doing has been mucking around in your panel.
white wires are neutral. green wires are ground wires.

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.
