How do you wire a light switch with only black and red wires?

The black wire is typically the hot wire that carries the electrical current, while the red wire is often used as a traveler wire. Connect the black wire to one terminal of the light switch and the red wire to the other terminal. Make sure to turn off the power before wiring the switch to avoid electrical shock.


What are the wire connections to a L14-20P plug?

A L14-20P is a 3 pole 4wire 125/250 volt grounding plug. The four wire (white, red, black and green) cable connection will be, white wire to the W terminal, red to the X terminal, black to the Y terminal and green to the G terminal. The X and Y terminals wires (red and black) can be interchanged so that there is no cross over of the conductors as they protrude from the cable jacket.
