The white line on a black wire typically indicates that the wire is a hot wire that has been re-identified for use as a different phase or conductor in a circuit, often in situations where the wiring color code needs to be modified for clarity or safety. In electrical wiring, black is usually used for hot wires, while white is reserved for neutral wires. The marking helps ensure proper identification and prevents confusion during installation or maintenance. Always consult local electrical codes and standards for specific guidance.
What else can I help you with?
Is the black wire connected to the line or the grounded line when connecting a power cord to a motor?
Black is the hot side of the line, white the neutral side, green (or rarely bare) wire is the ground.
What does it mean when there are two black wires in an eletcric box when changing a light?

How do you connect timer white and black house wire with red black and white wires?
House wire is "line" Black & White house goes to Black & White of Timer; the "load" (e.g. Pond Pump, etc.) is connected to the Red & White. Specifically, put all 3 whites together (nut or terminal); House (source)(line) Black to Timer Black; and "load" Black to Timer Red. The Red wire is the "Timed" (switched) hot wire.
What wire is always hot the line wire or the load wire?
The Load wire is always hot (black or red wire) and the Line wire is the one that returns to your fusebox (usually white). Answer above is absolutely wrong written by someone who does not know electricity and will get you electrocuted. The white wire is your neutral wire. The black or red coming from the electrical panel is the line wire. the black or red wire going to the next outlet or light fixture is your load wire. in some cases a white wire will be a line or load and should be indicated with black tape on it denoting it is not a neutral. quick recap is Line = power in, load = power out.
