On a 110V circut wire what is the voltage of the hot wire?

The voltage (AC RMS) between the "hot" wire and the "neutral" wire is 110 VAC (volts alternating current). But it should be noted that the "110" volts supplied to homes can range from 95 to 130 volts, with the present standard now being 120 VAC. In addition, if the circuits are wired in accordance to most local codes, the "neutral' wire is connected to the "ground" wire in the distribution (fuse or circuit breaker panel or box), so the 110 volts will also appear between the "hot" wire (black color coded wire) ,and the ground wire (bare wire, within an insulating jacket carrying the insulated "hot" and "neutral" wires). Note, however, that the "ground" wire is not designed nor intended to carry the "return" current from the "hot" wire, but only as a safety "ground" for currents due to shorted or improperly wired devices connected to the circuit.


What is power available from 110 VAC outlet?

The power available from a 110 VAC outlet can be calculated using the formula P = V x I, where P is power in watts, V is voltage in volts (110V in this case) and I is current in amps. The maximum power output can be estimated as 1100 watts for a standard 110 VAC outlet.


What is the ac voltage reading between the bare copper wire and the hot black wire 120 vac or zero volt?

Should be about 120 VAC.


In the United States is a neutral wire used in 120 VAC circuits?

Yes, in the United States, a neutral wire is used in 120VAC circuits to complete the electrical circuit back to the power source. The neutral wire carries the return current from the load back to the electrical panel.


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.

Is 110 V the same as 110VAC?

Yes, 110 V and 110 VAC refer to the same voltage level, with "VAC" specifically indicating that it is an alternating current (AC) voltage. The "V" stands for volts, while "AC" denotes the type of electrical current. Therefore, when you see 110 VAC, it is simply emphasizing that the voltage is alternating current at 110 volts.

Should be about 120 VAC.


Why are two 30amps breaker together?

They are in tandem because they power a 220 VAC circuit, rather then a 110 VAC circuit.

What is the voltage of line voltage?

It varies from country to country. In the USA it is 110 volts, in the UK it 230 volts +/- 10%/6%. In practise in the UK it is 240s volt +/- 6%, the slightly odd looking specification allows harmonisation with rest of Europe. In all these cases, the mains voltage is supplied AC (alternating current) and the voltage is given as root mean square (RMS). The peak voltage in the UK is 384 volts.


What wire do I connect the 277 VAC wire to?

It depends on what 277 volt device you are trying to connect.


What colour is the solid copper?

bare copper wire is copper orange color.tinned copper wire is silvery color.enamel coated copper magnet wire can come in any color, depending on enamel.plastic coated copper hookup wire can come in any color, depending on plastic.copper wire for household wiring is color coded using plastic coating:black - hot 120 VACwhite - neutral 0 V current returngreen - ground 0 V safety return (no current normally)red - hot 120 VAC, opposite phase from black for use in 240 VAC hookupsetc.copper wiring for industrial 3-phase power has additional colors, which I won't visit here.copper wire for electronic use follows an entirely different color code:red - positive DC powerblack - DC returngreen - negative DC power, or signal if no negative powerother colors - signalsdon't confuse color codes!

Yes, in the United States, a neutral wire is used in 120VAC circuits to complete the electrical circuit back to the power source. The neutral wire carries the return current from the load back to the electrical panel.


What is the voltage AC recommended for home use?

In the United States, 110-120/240 VAC is the standard.
