When at a 2 pole light switch and the wire colors shown are black white and green which is the hot wire and which is the common?
the black wire is the hot wire
Should grooved wire be connected to white wire?
If you are referring to lamp cord type wire where both wires are brown then yes, connect the wire with the groves to the white neutral and the smooth wire to the black hot wire.
Which of the two wires is hot which is neutral?
If this is a home wiring question and the wires are black and white then black is Hot and white is Neutral. If you also have a red wire, it is the other hot wire, and either the black or the red wire to the white one would be 120 volts, and red to black would be 240 volts.
What is black wire use for?
In household wiring it is the "hot" wire that carries current to the load.
Why is the ground wire hot at all outlet boxes on a particular circuit?
Most likely the ground (green) wire is mistakenly connected to hot instead of the hot wire (black) at the breaker panel! Possibly you meant the neutral wire not the ground wire, in that case most likely the neutral (white) wire is mistakenly connected to hot instead of the hot wire (black) at the breaker panel! In either case check all three wires in the breaker panel for that circuit to make sure they are all correctly connected! Black is hot, White is neutral, Green (or uninsulated in some cases) is ground.
My Windshield wiper motor stop working for my 1995 cutlass supreme. Can you tell me which wire is the hot wire and the ground wire?
Red is hot, black is not.
Is the black and white wire both hot in this electrical circuit?
In an electrical circuit, the black wire is typically the hot wire, while the white wire is the neutral wire. Both wires can carry electricity, but the black wire is the one that carries the current to the device, while the white wire completes the circuit by returning the current to the source.
Which is the hot wire if there are both black and red wires?
The hot wire could be either the black or red wire, as both are commonly used for hot wires in electrical wiring. It's important to use a voltage tester to determine which is carrying the current before working on the wires.
How can you determine which wire is hot when both wires are black?
To determine which wire is hot when both wires are black, you can use a voltage tester or a multimeter to check for voltage. The wire that shows a voltage reading is the hot wire. Make sure to follow proper safety precautions when working with electrical wires.
