On a 110V circut wire what is the voltage of the hot wire?

The voltage (AC RMS) between the "hot" wire and the "neutral" wire is 110 VAC (volts alternating current). But it should be noted that the "110" volts supplied to homes can range from 95 to 130 volts, with the present standard now being 120 VAC. In addition, if the circuits are wired in accordance to most local codes, the "neutral' wire is connected to the "ground" wire in the distribution (fuse or circuit breaker panel or box), so the 110 volts will also appear between the "hot" wire (black color coded wire) ,and the ground wire (bare wire, within an insulating jacket carrying the insulated "hot" and "neutral" wires). Note, however, that the "ground" wire is not designed nor intended to carry the "return" current from the "hot" wire, but only as a safety "ground" for currents due to shorted or improperly wired devices connected to the circuit.


What is power available from 110 VAC outlet?

Any where from 110 volts to 130 volts alternating current is available from a 110 VAC outlet.


What is the ac voltage reading between the bare copper wire and the hot black wire 120 vac or zero volt?

Should be about 120 VAC.


What will happen if 110 vac motor connected with 230 vac?

It will burn due excess current .


Why are two 30amps breaker together?

They are in tandem because they power a 220 VAC circuit, rather then a 110 VAC circuit.


What is the voltage on cruise ships?

24 VDC or may be 110 VAC


What is the voltage of line voltage?

It varies from country to country. In the USA it is 110 volts, in the UK it 230 volts +/- 10%/6%. In practise in the UK it is 240s volt +/- 6%, the slightly odd looking specification allows harmonisation with rest of Europe. In all these cases, the mains voltage is supplied AC (alternating current) and the voltage is given as root mean square (RMS). The peak voltage in the UK is 384 volts.


What size wire should you use for a device operating on 240 VAC pulling 22 amps?

wire is often rated at 600 vac, 22 amps reqires # 10


What wire do I connect the 277 VAC wire to?

It depends on what 277 volt device you are trying to connect.


What colour is the solid copper?

bare copper wire is copper orange color.tinned copper wire is silvery color.enamel coated copper magnet wire can come in any color, depending on enamel.plastic coated copper hookup wire can come in any color, depending on plastic.copper wire for household wiring is color coded using plastic coating:black - hot 120 VACwhite - neutral 0 V current returngreen - ground 0 V safety return (no current normally)red - hot 120 VAC, opposite phase from black for use in 240 VAC hookupsetc.copper wiring for industrial 3-phase power has additional colors, which I won't visit here.copper wire for electronic use follows an entirely different color code:red - positive DC powerblack - DC returngreen - negative DC power, or signal if no negative powerother colors - signalsdon't confuse color codes!


How many watts is 6.5 amps and 110 vac?

The formula you are looking for is W = A x V.


In the United States is a neutral wire used in 120 VAC circuits?

Yes, in most cases it is the white wire. (the black or red wire is the hot and the bare wire is the ground.)
