How do you hook up a gfi recepticale to a three wire?

To hook up a GFCI receptacle with three wires, you would typically connect the black wire to the "hot" terminal, the white wire to the "neutral" terminal, and the bare/green wire to the "ground" terminal on the GFCI receptacle. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and turn off power to the circuit before starting any electrical work.


What names are given to the 3 pins of a 3 pin plug?

Live neutral and earth. My name is Travis C. Williams, and I'm a contractor, the left slot is called Neutral, the right slot is called Hot, and the bottom hole is called Ground. When you're hooking up a new 120volt 15 amp receptacle to 12-2 w/G wire, you'll hook the white wire (Neutral) to the silver colored screw on the left, and you'll hook the black wire (Hot) to the brass colored screw on the right, and you'll hook the bare wire (Ground) to the green screw on the bottom left hand corner. Hope my answer helped you.
