In North America the white neutral wire is never switched. This is because a split single phase secondary system is used. Opening a neutral could put two branch circuit loads in series with each other.
What else can I help you with?
Is red neutral or live in a 240 volt system?
The colour red designates that the wire is used as a live wire. The neutral wire is identified as white in colour.
Are there electrical colour codes for wiring in India?

What colour code for 3 pin plug in NZ?
The live wire is brown in coulor while the earth wireis green and yellow in color and neutral wire is blue in colour. Uses of these three wire: Live wire:It's connected with fuse.It carries a voltage which drives electric current through the electrical appliances. Earth wire:It is a safety device and protect us from electric shock. Neutral wire:It offers a return path by electric current.
Which colour wire is live in UK wiring?
In a flexible cable, the brown is the "line" voltage and blue is "neutral", often tied to ground at the mains panel. In fixed cables, i.e., "behind the walls", the UK wiring standard changed in 2004, where it now MATCHES the flexible cable: brown is line, blue is neutral. Prior to that, blue, red or yellow were acceptable LINE conductor colors and black was neutral.
What happen when neutral connect to live?
short circuit
What colour wire is switched live feed on a car stereo?

Is red neutral or live in a 240 volt system?
The colour red designates that the wire is used as a live wire. The neutral wire is identified as white in colour.
Do live colour xxl hair dyes have semi permanent as-well as permanent?

Why do the electric test pen lighted up at live only not at neutral when AC supply switched on?
it measures the ionization of the air.
Where do you connect the fuse cable wire from a car stereo you have a Red wire that is the live a black wire that is earth and a yellow wire that is for fuse where do you connect the yellow wire too?
Red goes to a switched live i.e one that is only live when the ignition is switched on. Yellow goes to a permanent live i.e one that is always live whether the ignition is n or not, like the cigarette lighter, and maintains the station configuration memory. However, a modern car should have a pre-wired Din connector and a local motor factor will have the corresponding universal adaptor for your radio; connect colour ro colour (inc speaker wires) and plug it in !
Are there electrical colour codes for wiring in India?

What colour earth neutral and live in armoued cable?
All depends on what country you are in, wiring standards and cable type. Industrial cable in the UK is. :- Red = Live Black = Neutral Copper wire = earth. (add Green/Yellow striped sleeve at junctions.) Domestic is:- Brown = Live Blue = neutral Green/yellow stripe = Earth Europe Black = Live Blue = Neutral Brown = Earth
Access to the circuit panel is locked- is it possible to safely change a bad wall switch without shutting off power?
No. If it's a light switch then it will have a live wire, a switched live and an earth. If it's a switched socket then it will have a live wire, a neutral and an earth. Either way the switch needs to be isolated from the mains before the switch can be disconnected.
What are the needs for colour coding of cables and wiring including live neutral and earth colours?
Australia: ANZS3000 Active= Red or Brown Neutral = Black or Light Blue Earth = Green or Green and Yellow stripe
What position would you find live electrical wire?
You would find a live electric wire, with a neutral and usually also an earth wire, in any place where electricity is used. The wires are colour coded differently in different areas but in Europe live is brown, neutral is blue and earth is green/yellow.
What colour wire goes to earth in an Italian plug?
The same rules apply to the whole of Europe. "Brown is live" , "Blue is neutral" and "Green/Yellow is Earth".
How can I wire a light switch using a diagram?
To wire a light switch using a diagram, first turn off the power to the circuit. Then, connect the live wire to the common terminal of the switch, the neutral wire to the neutral terminal, and the switched live wire to the other terminal. Finally, secure the wires in place and turn the power back on to test the switch.
