the hot wire carries the electrical voltage
A jumper wire should use to bridge electrical ground across?
In the US, if you only have a black wire (ungrounded or hot conductor) and a white wire (normally a grounded conductor or neutral) there is not a ground wire. Sometimes the white wire is used as a hot, so each wire would have to be identified. <<<< Electrical work should only be done by a qualified electrician.>>>>
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.
Electrical wire sheathing should not project more than about one inch into the electric panel.
the green wire its ground so you have black withe an ground
Green is normally a ground wire, but without seeing the wore and how it is connected there is no way to tell for sure.
The "hot" wire between these two coloured wires will be the blue one. The green colour is always used as ground in electrical circuits.
yes
Black wire to copper screw, white wire to silver screw, bare copper ground wire to green ground screw.
A ground to earth completes an electrical circuit in some cases. The wire is called the ground or grounding wire, and often has green insulation.
If the home was wired properly the black or red wire are hot the white is neutral and the green is ALWAYS the ground
No, the wide prong is neutral it is the white wire. The narrow prong is hot it is the black wire. The round prong (in a 3 wire plug) is safety ground it is the green wire.
In my house it is green $#@! when I found it I also received a small shock.
'Can' yes. 'Should' no. <<>> Never use a green wire for a neutral. It is colour coded for a reason and that is to protect the people that work on electrical equipment. If you turn a ground wire into a neutral it then becomes a current carrying conductor. There are times in the electrical trade when grounds have to be disconnected and if it is used as a neutral and the tradesman is holding one end and touching a grounded object a shock will occur. Again never use a green ground wire as a neutral.
Black wire to the gold screw, white wire to the silver screw, green wire to the round or U shaped prong screw.
The electrical terminology of a wire with no insulation on it is a bare wire.
