Much depends on where the installation will be used and the voltage of it, and the current it's got to carry.

Automobile connections - which are normally for 12 volts - can be spade connectors or bullet connectors or chocolate block connectors.

Mains connections are made using junction boxes or chocolate block connectors.

But the above are in addition to the connections within the item to be connected, which normally has a hole that the wire goes into and a small screw that tightens onto the wire to stop it coming out.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.

Before you do any work yourself,

on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,

always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Can you connect 2 wire to 3 wire house has black white red and ground Appliance has black white and ground?

It seems like you are describing the Red, Black, White and Ground in your electric panel. There is 240 VAC between Black and Red and 120 VAC between Black and White and 120 VAC between Red and White. The electric panel has two busses that supply 120 VAC on alternating breakers in your panel. Essentially, the Red turns into "black" in the panel for all practical purposes. If you have a 240 VAC circuit it essentially takes up to two vertical positions in your electric panel.
