On a 240 volt circuit both line wires are hot, so they may both be black, depending on the wire used. There is normally no neutral required unless you are also tapping off 120 volts between hot and neutral.

Originally a 240V line running from the 50A circuit to a box contaning in line fuses from this box came a 240V cable having 2 black wires and wire braid do I wire the outlet stove as a 3 or 4 prong?
3 prong the 2 black wires are your hot and the braided is your neutral.
Replacing 240v light socket what color is negative wire?
its black and white or if its relay the color changes
On a 220 volt circuit where the white wire is common how many volts would the red wire be?
3 OR 4 . you only need 2 wires for 220, 1 phase is 120v between 2 of them its 220v . you also should have a ground for the third wire ,and the newer stuff requires a neutral or white wire for the 4th wire. hope i helped , D
How do you wire a 1500W 240V flood light that has ground white and black wires?
the wires coming off double pole will give you 240 volts,110 each the black and white hook to these,doesn`t matter which way,ground to ground Ground is always ground, Black and white are your two "hots." You will need a dedicated circuit, you cannot run this off existing 120V wiring. A 15A 240V circuit should be more than sufficient. If this is a permanent instalation you can use 14/2 wire as you normally would, and wire it as you normally would with the exception of the 240V breaker. If you install switches, timers, etc. Make sure they are all rated for 240V. Remember, you can't just mix-and-match between 120 and 240V. 240 appliances will not run on 120 and 120 appliances will burn up on 240.
How do you hook up a 3 wire water herter to 4 wire circut?
4 wire household wiring is black, red, (hot wires) white (neutral) and bare or green (ground wire). You say 3 wires. Is it 120v or 240v. If its 240v which is more common just use the two hots and the ground and cap off the neutral wire.

White wire a black wire a red wire and a bare wire?
white wire = neutral bare wire = ground black wire = line voltage red wire = returned from a switch, or the other phase of line voltage in order to supply 240VAC
What wire is always hot the line wire or the load wire?
The Load wire is always hot (black or red wire) and the Line wire is the one that returns to your fusebox (usually white). Answer above is absolutely wrong written by someone who does not know electricity and will get you electrocuted. The white wire is your neutral wire. The black or red coming from the electrical panel is the line wire. the black or red wire going to the next outlet or light fixture is your load wire. in some cases a white wire will be a line or load and should be indicated with black tape on it denoting it is not a neutral. quick recap is Line = power in, load = power out.
Can you use one wire from the panel with 240v on it to wire a 240v water heater?
In North America it takes two "hot" wires to obtain 240 volts.
Rear speaker wire which is the positive in a impala ss 1994?
It will be the wire without the black line on it. Usualy the black line on a solid color will mean negative (-)
What is 2 wire plus ground 240V?
With one interpretation of this question, the answer would be two 120V wires and a ground.
Is the black wire connected to the line or the grounded line when connecting a power cord to a motor?
Black is the hot side of the line, white the neutral side, green (or rarely bare) wire is the ground.
Is the white wire in the thermotat a neutral?
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.
