The only way to change a 14-2 wire into a 14-3 wire is to physically remove the 14-2 and replace it with a 14-3.

How do you tell the hot wire when both are black?

When both wires are black, you can identify the hot wire using a multimeter or a voltage tester. First, ensure the power is turned off at the breaker. Then, turn the power back on and carefully test each wire with the voltage tester; the wire that shows a voltage reading is the hot wire. Alternatively, if you have access to a ground wire, the black wire connected to the ground can be identified as the hot wire, while the other is typically neutral. Always exercise caution and consider consulting a professional if unsure.


How do you install a ceiling fan with red black and white wires?

Based on your description it is very likely that either the red wire or black wire is switched and the other is on all the time. In most cases the light of the fan, if it has a light, is connected to the switched wire and the fan is connected to the unswitched wire. This allows you to turn off the light while allowing the fan to remain running. There is no way to know without testing which wire is switched. The white wire is the neutral, connected to the white, or neutral, or common conductor of the fixture. There should also be a bare or green wire in the box to connect to the ground wire of the fixture.


What wire to use to rewire stove plates?

When rewiring stove plates, it's essential to use high-temperature, heat-resistant wire, typically 10 or 12-gauge copper wire, depending on the stove's ampacity requirements. Make sure the wire is rated for at least 250 volts, as most stoves operate at this voltage. Additionally, use wire that meets local electrical codes and standards to ensure safety and compliance. Always turn off the power before starting any electrical work.


Is there a difference between black wire and red wire?

Yes, the red wire is a positive wire (+) and the black wire is a negative wire (-) :D
