NO.

Your GREEN wire is your grounding conductor.

Your WHITE wires can be either of two things:

1) A natural white wire will be your (Neutral) line,

2) A "Tagged" white wire is a (Hot) or Live wire.

Which means that if your white wire is tagged, it is a "Secondary BLACK" wire.

Usually you will find an indication of "tagging" at the front of each sides connection of the wire.

How do you wire alight fixture with three black wires three white wires three grounds?

You will connect the three black wires together, the three white wires together, and the three ground wires together. Use wire nuts to secure the connections. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and make sure to turn off the power before proceeding.


How do you wire two outside light sensing motion porch lights that are controlled from one switch with each light having a white black ground and optional red wire?

Connect the black wire from the switch to the black wires of both lights. Connect the white wires together. Connect the red wire, if used for the motion sensor, to the black wires on the lights. Connect all ground wires together and to the ground terminal on the switch. Make sure to turn off power before connecting any wires for safety.


Trying to install an IKEA light The light has black white and 2 yellow and green striped wires Ceiling box has 2 black 2 red and white wire Room has 2 switches What should connect to what?

Connect the black wire from the ceiling box to the black wire on the light. Connect the white wire from the ceiling box to the white wire on the light. The yellow and green striped wires from the light are likely the ground wires, secure these to the green or bare copper wire in the ceiling box. Cap off or tape the red wires from the ceiling box, as they are likely for a separate function and are not needed for the light fixture.


How do you hook up new black white and green wires to 2 old white wires and 2 old black wires?

More information is needed as to what device you are connecting to what power supply. The only two identifiable wires are the white and green. In North America the white colour is used for the circuit's neutral and the green is used for grounding of devices.


I see only a red and a green wire coming out from ceiling box. What are they and how do you connect them to a ceiling light?

Normally red or black is the hot wire and green is the ground. However someone may have used the green wire as the neutral wire which is normally white. Just connect the black wire from the light to the red wire and the white wire from the light to the green wire and see if it works. If not you have to pull the wires out of the ceiling box and see how they wired it.

How do you install a 20 amp switch for well pump?

Black/White/Ground power in and the same out. Tie the incoming and outgoing white wires together under a yellow wire nut and push them back in the box. Tie the ground wires together under a green wire nut and connect the pigtail from those ground wires to the ground screw on the switch. Connect the 2 black wires you have left to the 2 screws on the switch. Doesn't matter which black wire you connect to which screw.


What is the proper way to connect white, black, and green wires in an electrical circuit?

To properly connect white, black, and green wires in an electrical circuit, you should match the white wire to the neutral terminal, the black wire to the hot terminal, and the green wire to the ground terminal. This ensures the safe and effective flow of electricity in the circuit.


What's the different between white and green wires?

How do I properly wire a light fixture with 3 sets of wires?

To properly wire a light fixture with 3 sets of wires, first identify the hot (black), neutral (white), and ground (green or bare) wires in each set. Connect the hot wires together, the neutral wires together, and the ground wires together using wire nuts. Then, connect the fixture's hot wire to the group of hot wires, the neutral wire to the group of neutral wires, and the ground wire to the group of ground wires. Finally, secure all connections with electrical tape and install the light fixture according to the manufacturer's instructions.
