The hot terminal is typically associated with the color black or red in electrical wiring. In most wiring systems, black is used for the primary hot wire, while red can indicate a secondary hot wire, especially in 220-volt circuits. Always refer to local electrical codes and standards for specific wiring color conventions.
What else can I help you with?
Is the hot wire connected to the line or load terminal?
The hot wire is typically connected to the line terminal.
Wiring off road lights?
I would wire them using a common relay and a ground switched circuit i.e. Terminal #30 Hot Terminal #87 Load Terminal #85 Hot Terminal #86 Switched to Ground
Why would the earth terminal get hot when the car is off?
This depends what Earth Terminal you mean The one on the top of the battery, You may have a bad battery. Disconect it and come back in 24 hours and see if it is dead. Not dead means that there is a short in the electrical system and this terminal needs cleaning. If the battery is dead the battery is bad, replace it. If this is another terminal and gets hot and stays hot it means there is a large draw on the system and this terminal is dirty and requires cleaning. The hot terminal is allways the highest resistance in the system. Good Luck
What is red color on battery?
The red terminal on a car battery is the positive terminal which feeds electrical current to various devices. The black terminal is the negative, or ground, terminal which is attached to the car frame.
Could a bad key switch cause the positive battery terminal to get hot?
No, the battery terminal should be able to handle as much electrical current as the vehicle should ever use, WITHOUT heating up. Clean or replace any battery terminal that is getting hot.
Most positive battery terminals are what color?
Most positive battery terminals are typically marked with the color red. This color coding helps to easily identify the positive terminal, distinguishing it from the negative terminal, which is usually black. Additionally, the positive terminal may have a plus sign (+) symbol, further indicating its polarity.

What is the terminal color for a hot wire?
Having done this for many years, the best answer I can give you is: A hot wire can be any color. I say this not only because in the U.S., hot wires are allowed to be any color except green, white, or grey; But also because you never know what the person before you did. Sometimes they have even used green, white, or grey as a hot wire (illegally). Not only this, but since there doesn't seem to be any standard, a piece of equipment may be using just about any color as well as a hot. Your best bet for equipment is to find the wiring diagram, and for a circuit coming from a panelboard, to use a meter to determine what is what.

your an idiot. what color is the negative wire for everything. BLACK!!!AnswerI think it is the Red one. Red is the color code for the positive terminal (also for your battery tender). Black or green indicates the negative terminal..
What is the correct way to connect the brown and blue wire in an electrical circuit?
