Line is the left hole of an outlet. Neutral is the right, and ground is the upside-down semicircle. A live wire is a wire with current flowing through it. Because neutral doesn't have any current in it, but line does, you could say that line is live. This explains why that you can be shocked from touching just the line. You can't be by touching just the neutral or ground. Line to neutral is the most deadliest if it travels across you. Line to ground will tingle a lot, but it won't necessarily kill you because the current draw isn't nearly as much as line to neutral. But basically line is the most dangerous part of an outlet, so line or live, both are dangerous. :P Female Electricity Geeks will rule the world. Does this question matter? We will all die anyways XD but yeah. That's the gist of it.
What else can I help you with?
What wire on a 3 line wooden pylon is live neutral and earth?
On a 3-line wooden pylon, typically the top wire is the live wire, the middle wire is the neutral wire, and the bottom wire is the earth wire. It is important to contact a professional electrician to properly identify and work with these wires to ensure safety.
White wire a black wire a red wire and a bare wire?
The white wire is typically neutral, the black wire is usually hot or live, the red wire may be a secondary live wire or used for a separate function, and the bare wire is typically the ground wire for safety purposes in an electrical circuit.
Do you connect a fuse to the live wire or the neutral wire?
A fuse is typically connected to the live wire in a circuit. This is done to protect the circuit from an overload or short circuit, as the fuse will blow or trip and cut off the current flow if there is an issue.
Would the black wire be line 1 on 240V line in?
On a 240 volt circuit both line wires are hot, so they may both be black, depending on the wire used. There is normally no neutral required unless you are also tapping off 120 volts between hot and neutral.
Is a Line voltage understood to be any voltage?
The Line normally refers to the live wire in a single-phase system and the three live wire of a 3-phase system. In a 3-phase system the line voltage is usually quoted as the nominal voltage, and that is the voltage between any two of the live wires. The voltage between one of the lines and neutral is 1/sqrt(3) times less.
What wire on a 3 line wooden pylon is live neutral and earth?
On a 3-line wooden pylon, typically the top wire is the live wire, the middle wire is the neutral wire, and the bottom wire is the earth wire. It is important to contact a professional electrician to properly identify and work with these wires to ensure safety.

The white wire is typically neutral, the black wire is usually hot or live, the red wire may be a secondary live wire or used for a separate function, and the bare wire is typically the ground wire for safety purposes in an electrical circuit.
Before you touch a wire in an appliance how should you make sure that it is NOT hot?
You can use a wire tester to determine if a wire is live. You can also touch the positive wire on the ground wire, if the wire produces a spark it is live.
How do you tell which is the line wire and the load wire?
The line wire will be hot and carrying power when the breaker is on. The load wire will not be hot and will have no voltage on it until it is connected with the line wire.
Why is the switch for an appliance always placed in the live wire?
If a switch was on the neutral wire the live wire would still be at the mains potential even when the switch was off. This would cause on en electric shock when one handles any conductor linked to the live wire
Do you connect a fuse to the live wire or the neutral wire?
A fuse is typically connected to the live wire in a circuit. This is done to protect the circuit from an overload or short circuit, as the fuse will blow or trip and cut off the current flow if there is an issue.

On a 240 volt circuit both line wires are hot, so they may both be black, depending on the wire used. There is normally no neutral required unless you are also tapping off 120 volts between hot and neutral.
What is a metal rope called?
A metal rope is also called a wire rope.
What is line phase neutral?
Line, phase, neutral are terms used to describe the conductors in a three-phase system. The three live wires are called 'lines', and less correctly, 'phases'. Neutral is used for the fourth wire which in a balanced system carries no current.
What is the function of the live?
A 'live' or 'hot' wire is a wire that is connected to a power source. This wire supplies voltage to a load ( light bulb, hair dryer, etc.). When the load is also connected a neutral or another live wire this becomes a path for the flow of current (amps) known as a circuit.
