This is not true in all plugs it all depends on the manufacturer and the product. Plug wires come in all different colors such as red, black, brown, yellow, blue, and so on. So as I said the wire being brown is indicative of a certain manufacturer or product.

How to wire a plug with blue brown and Black?

Test the wire with a meter to determine which wire is your hot, which is your neutral, and which is your ground. Those colors are indicative of a 240v circuit normally, so you may have two hots and a ground. Other wise Hot=Black, Neutral=White, and Ground=Green for placement. On your plug, Black/Hot goes to the brass colored terminal. Green/ground goes to the sometimes green terminal that is off by itself usually at the bottom of the receptacle. The neutral goes to the silver terminal.


What are the names of the three wires in a plug?

Ensure all wires are securely connected, and double-check the wiring before closing the plug casing. If in doubt, consult a professional electrician for assistance.


Which is the Hot wire and which is the Neutral wire if the wires you see are a Brown a Blue and a Yellow Green wire?

In electrical wiring, the live or "hot" wire is typically brown or red, the neutral wire is typically blue or black, and the ground wire is yellow or green. So, in this case, the brown wire is likely the hot wire, the blue wire is the neutral wire, and the yellow green wire is the ground wire.

Wiring diagram of plug wire and their order?

With the cover off the plug and looking from the back at the screws the "Live" wire [generally red or brown] goes to the Left - and the "Neutral" wire [generally green] gos to the Right.Another way of putting this would be to say that the red wire must be connected to the prong that goes into the Left hole in the plug outlet in the wall.It is good practice to coil the earth wire in the plug so that, should the lead by tugged hard, it will be the LAST wire to become disconnected from the screws in the plug.AnswerCorrection .... sorry!! With the cover off the plug and looking from the back at the screws the "Live" wire [generally red or brown] goes to the Left - and the "Neutral" wire [generally BLUE] goes to the Right. The Earth [genarally green] goes to the centre prong - assuming it is a 3-pin plug.

How do you wire a Pollak 12-705 plug?

To wire a Pollak 12-705 plug, start by stripping the ends of the wires you’ll connect to the plug. Insert the wires into the appropriate terminals based on the color coding: typically, the brown wire connects to the tail light, the yellow wire to the left turn signal, the green wire to the right turn signal, and the white wire to the ground. Secure the wires using the screws on the terminals, ensuring a snug fit. Finally, double-check your connections with a wiring diagram to ensure accuracy before using the plug.
