To answer this question fully the type of appliance has to be stated and its voltage.
The green or green/yellow wire in an appliance connects its metal base to the ground through the household wiring. This wire is known as the ground wire and is an essential safety feature to prevent electric shocks in case of a fault.
The black wire is the hot wire through which the electrical current flows to the appliance. The left over voltage which is usually zero flows back to the main circuit panel through the white neutral wire where it flows to ground.
the safest position for a switch is on the live wire and not on the neutral wire
To convert a hardwired appliance into a plug-in type, you would need to install a plug onto the existing wires of the appliance. This involves cutting the wire, connecting it to the corresponding terminals on the plug, and securing the connection. It is important to follow electrical safety guidelines and, if you are unsure, consider consulting with a licensed electrician for assistance.
If there happens to be a fault on that appliance the ground wire is the faults path back to ground.
To connect a 4-wire appliance to a 3-wire 220v outlet without compromising safety or functionality, you will need to install a 4-wire cord and plug on the appliance and ensure the outlet is properly grounded. This may require hiring a professional electrician to make the necessary modifications to the outlet and appliance to ensure safe and proper operation.

The hot wire in an electrical circuit is the wire that carries the current from the power source to the device or appliance.

The wire that is hot in an electrical circuit is the wire that carries the current from the power source to the device or appliance.
The wire that is at or near 0V and conducts an electric current whenever the appliance is switched on is the neutral wire. This wire completes the circuit and provides a return path for the current to flow back to the source.
A fuse link will melt and interrupt the flow of current to the appliance before it can get high enough to damage the appliance or wiring.

It depends on the voltage, but if you are using it on a 240 v system, it's quite OK to use wire that can take 600 v (if you had to buy the wire, you would be spending too much).
