If there are a red wire a black wire and a bare wire in a 120 volt supply wire which is the hot wire?
Where there is a red wire involved that usually indicates some type of special switching arrangement or more likely a 240 Volt circuit. In this case there will be 240 volts across the red and black and they will both be hot. Normally for 120 Volts the black is hot, the white is common and the bare wire is ground.
Light switch has 4 wire colors red and white and green and black which is the hot wire?
You have a 3 way switch. Your black wire is the hot wire. Your green wire is the ground wire. Your red and white wires go to the light and other switch. You should have gotten a wiring diagram with your switch.
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.
Can a red wire be neutral?
In ordinary circumstances, a red wire is a secondary hot wire in an AC circuit, or the positive power leg in a DC circuit. Red should not be used as a neutral. If it is used for something other than a hot wire it must be labeled on the wire at all connection points- and would STILL be a bad idea.
Which is the hot wire if there are both black and red wires?

Which wires, red and black, are considered hot in the electrical circuit?
In an electrical circuit, the red wire is typically considered the hot wire, while the black wire is usually the neutral wire.
Is the common wire the hot wire in electrical wiring?
No, the common wire is not the hot wire in electrical wiring. The common wire, also known as the neutral wire, carries the current back to the power source and completes the circuit. The hot wire, on the other hand, carries the current from the power source to the device being powered.
