The colour red designates that the wire is used as a live wire. The neutral wire is identified as white in colour.
Yes <<>> In North America, a three wire 120/240 volt system uses a neutral wire. For 240 volts two "hot" wires are used with no neutral.
In residential wiring the white wire is neutral on the 120 volt circuits. On a 3way circuit the red is the traveler and the white is neutral. On a 240 volt 3 wire connection the white & black are hot. On a 240 volt 4 wire connection the black and red are hot and the white is neutral.
Wiring a traffic light to a 240-volt mains supply should only be done by a qualified electrician, as it involves high voltage and safety risks. Start by ensuring the power is turned off at the circuit breaker. Connect the traffic light's live wire to the live supply, the neutral wire to the neutral supply, and properly ground the system according to local electrical codes. Always use suitable connectors and enclosures to prevent exposure to electrical components.
France uses 220-240 volts for their electrical system.

On a 120/240 volt distribution the neutral is sized along with the supply conductors. The sizing is based on the amperage of the service distribution.
In residential wiring the white wire is neutral on the 120 volt circuits. On a 3way circuit the red is the traveler and the white is neutral. On a 240 volt 3 wire connection the white & black are hot. On a 240 volt 4 wire connection the black and red are hot and the white is neutral.
Unless the switch has a pilot light on it there is need for a neutral connection to the switch.
The main difference between 120 volt and 240 volt electrical systems is the amount of voltage they provide. A 120 volt system is commonly used for household appliances and lighting, while a 240 volt system is typically used for larger appliances like stoves and dryers. The higher voltage of a 240 volt system allows for more power to be delivered, making it suitable for heavier electrical loads.
Throughout the USA the normal supply voltage is 120/240 v in a split-phase 3-wire system using a neutral and two lives with 240 across the live wires and 120 v from either live to neutral. Appliances up to 1500 watts operate on 120 v and, above that, 240 v. 208 v three-phase is also used, which has 120 v from any live wire to neutral. Larger users can get 480 v three-phase, with 277 v between live and neutral.

A 240-volt circuit typically consists of two hot wires and a ground wire, with no neutral wire. The hot wires each carry 120 volts, while the ground wire is used for safety purposes. In a 240-volt circuit, the hot wires complete a loop by connecting to a load or device that requires the higher voltage to operate.
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.To operate a 240 volt load in the home you use two adjacent breakers. This will give you a voltage of 240 volts where as one breaker to neutral will give you 120 volts.
If you mean a dual voltage motor 120/240 then yes these will operate on a 240 volt home distribution system.
Question is incorrect. in a 240 Volt single phase circuit, how can you have A phase and B phase?
France uses 220-240 volts for their electrical system.
