A 'hot' terminal is a slang expression for the line terminal of an AC supply. In Europe, for example, a single phase supply to a building has three conductors: line conductor, neutral conductor, and protective (earth) conductor. The line conductor has a potential of 230 V with respect to the neutral; the neutral conductor is at approximately the same potential as the earth conductor. In North America, there are two line conductors, which are at 240 V with respect to each other, and at 120 V with respect to the neutral.

What does common mean in terms of wiring IE hot neutral ground line NO NC?
In terms of hot,neutral,ground, the neutral is classed as the common. In regards to a switch which has a NO, NC, C. This is classed as a C form switch. It has a common terminal, a normally open terminal and a normally closed terminal. Depending on the position of the switch handle the circuit can be either open or closed.
Would a relay be wired differently for a sourcing and sinking output module?
Yes. For sourcing output, the relay coil is wired to (common or ground) and the output terminal. For sinking output, the relay is wired to (voltage supply or hot) and the output terminal.
What is the third terminal on electric equipment?
The third terminal connects to earth ground.
If the excitation of generator changes what happens to the terminal voltage?
By Decreasing the excitation voltage the terminal voltage will decrease and similarly by increasing the excitation voltages the terminal voltage will also increases.
What are the M L C V terminals of a watt meter?
The M terminal connects to the power supply. The L terminal connects to the load. The C terminal is shorted to the M terminal. The V terminal connects to the systems neutral.
Is the hot wire connected to the line or load terminal?
The hot wire is typically connected to the line terminal.
Wiring off road lights?
I would wire them using a common relay and a ground switched circuit i.e. Terminal #30 Hot Terminal #87 Load Terminal #85 Hot Terminal #86 Switched to Ground
Why would the earth terminal get hot when the car is off?
This depends what Earth Terminal you mean The one on the top of the battery, You may have a bad battery. Disconect it and come back in 24 hours and see if it is dead. Not dead means that there is a short in the electrical system and this terminal needs cleaning. If the battery is dead the battery is bad, replace it. If this is another terminal and gets hot and stays hot it means there is a large draw on the system and this terminal is dirty and requires cleaning. The hot terminal is allways the highest resistance in the system. Good Luck
Could a bad key switch cause the positive battery terminal to get hot?
No, the battery terminal should be able to handle as much electrical current as the vehicle should ever use, WITHOUT heating up. Clean or replace any battery terminal that is getting hot.
Why is your battery terminal hot?
some accessories draw juice all the time, but most of those will be minimal and of no consequence. Generally, if you find a hot terminal on your battery when you try to connect, it indicates that you have a short somewhere.
How can I properly wire a half hot outlet in my electrical system?
To properly wire a half hot outlet in your electrical system, you will need to connect the hot wire to the brass terminal, the neutral wire to the silver terminal, and the switched hot wire to the other brass terminal. Make sure to turn off the power before starting and follow all safety precautions. It is recommended to consult a professional electrician if you are unsure.
How do you wire a switch to a light?
To wire a switch to a light, you connect the hot wire from the power source to one terminal on the switch, then connect another wire from the other terminal of the switch to the hot terminal on the light fixture. Finally, connect the neutral wires from the power source and the light fixture together.
How to wire a 3 prong plug with 4 wires correctly?
To wire a 3-prong plug with 4 wires correctly, you will need to connect the green wire to the ground terminal, the white wire to the neutral terminal, the black wire to the hot terminal, and the red wire to the second hot terminal. Make sure to follow the specific instructions provided with the plug and consult a professional if needed.
How to wire a switch leg correctly?
To wire a switch leg correctly, connect the hot wire to the common terminal of the switch, the switched hot wire to the other terminal, and the neutral wire to the neutral terminal. Make sure to turn off the power before starting and follow the wiring diagram for your specific switch.
Why alternator terminal wire is getting red hot?
because you forgot to put lube on it
How should I properly wire the light and fan switches in my room to ensure they function correctly?
To properly wire the light and fan switches in your room, you should connect the hot wire from the power source to the common terminal of each switch. Then, connect the hot wire from the light fixture to the terminal on the light switch and the hot wire from the fan to the terminal on the fan switch. Finally, connect the neutral wires together and the ground wires to the grounding terminal. This setup will ensure that the switches function correctly and control the light and fan independently.
How do you wire a light switch to an outlet?
To wire a light switch to an outlet, you need to connect the hot wire from the outlet to the hot terminal on the switch, and then connect the hot wire from the light fixture to the other terminal on the switch. Make sure to turn off the power before starting and follow all safety precautions.
