Red normally is a live wire. However, it's just a matter of a plastic coating over the wire, and a red wire can be connected any way someone wishes to on any circuit.
The white wire is typically neutral, the black wire is usually hot or live, the red wire may be a secondary live wire or used for a separate function, and the bare wire is typically the ground wire for safety purposes in an electrical circuit.
The purpose of the red wire in a light switch installation is to carry electrical current to control a specific function, such as a separate light fixture or a three-way switch setup.
The red wire typically goes to the black wire.
The red wire typically connects to the black wire.
Yes, the red wire is a positive wire (+) and the black wire is a negative wire (-) :D
the thermostat has a black(line) wire to it, and a red wire going to it. the red wire then connects to the neutral wire. the black and red are like a leg switch.
The red wire is Positive, (+) and the Black wire is Negative. (-)
Yes, the red wire is typically considered a hot wire in electrical wiring.
It depends on what the wires are connected to and where the power supply is located. If the switch is lighted power has to get to the switch for the light. With a lighted switch you have a hot supply side, a neutral and then the wire going to the bell. So if Black 1 and Red 1 are supply voltage you would connect Red 1 to the hot side of switch, Black 1 would go to common as would Black 2. Red 2 would go to Bell side of the switch.

In electrical wiring, the color of the wires typically indicates their function. The black wire is commonly used as a hot wire, carrying live electrical current, while the red wire may also serve as a secondary hot wire or for specific applications like three-way switches. The brown wire is often used in some electrical systems as a hot wire, especially in European standards. It's important to consult local wiring codes and standards, as color conventions can vary by region.
Red, white, and black are standard for a three-way switch (you have two switches that control the same fixture). You should also have a ground wire (copper, unsheathed). The black and red are negative, while the white is positive. It works pretty simply. When the switch is up, the black and white are linked, creating a circuit. When it is down, the red and white are linked. If both switches agree (both are red/white or both are black/white), then the circuit is completed and power flows.
