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.
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.
The three wires in a plug are typically called live, neutral, and earth wires. The live wire carries the current to the appliance, the neutral wire completes the circuit and carries the current back, and the earth wire is a safety feature to prevent electric shocks.
In the UK Brown is the live, blue is the neutral and green/yellow is the earth. The live and neutral are the two wires that normally carry the current.
To wire a plug properly, match the correct wires to the corresponding terminals: green/yellow to the Earth terminal, blue to the Neutral terminal, and brown to the Live terminal. 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.
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.
it is the brown wire in a three pin plug
it gives you an electric shock
To properly wire a plug with 3 wires, you need to connect the live wire (usually brown), the neutral wire (usually blue), and the earth wire (usually green and yellow) to their respective terminals in the plug. Make sure to follow the correct wiring diagram and secure the wires tightly to prevent any electrical hazards.
The green and yellow is the earth wire The brown is the live wire The blue is the neutral wire A poem to help is: The brown live cow drinks from the blue neutral water and eats the green grass from earth
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.
right hand 4 wire plug at distributor, go down 6-8 inches you'll see the wire go into a male/female plug, unplug set timing & reconnect

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.
There's a single brown wire ussualy near the booster. Unplug that wire. Use a timing light to set the timing to zero and plug the wire back in.
Spark plug wire not connected to spark plug? Spark plug wire connected to Wrong spark plug? Vacuum line disconnected? Bad spark plug or wire?
there is a single plug in the back of the unit. it has a yellow. orange brown black gray and a green wire. the orange seems to be the power. the yellow is possible a speaker wire. but with just the wires on the plug its difficult to tell whats a speaker wire versys a ground or switch wire. it also appears that there SHOULD BE ANOTHER PLUG. BUT I DIDNT SEE ANYTHING IN THE DASH. that would tounf out the nessasry wire to make a 4 speaker stereo
