Red, white, and black are standard for a three-way switch (you have two switches that control the same fixture). You should also have a ground wire (copper, unsheathed).
The black and red are negative, while the white is positive.
It works pretty simply. When the switch is up, the black and white are linked, creating a circuit. When it is down, the red and white are linked.
If both switches agree (both are red/white or both are black/white), then the circuit is completed and power flows.
You will connect the three black wires together, the three white wires together, and the three ground wires together. Use wire nuts to secure the connections. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and make sure to turn off the power before proceeding.
To splice a cord with white and black wires to a cord with red, green, black, and white wires, first ensure that both cords are unplugged and safe to work with. Connect the black wire from the first cord to the black wire from the second cord (which is typically the hot wire). Connect the white wire to the white wire (the neutral), and if applicable, connect the green wire (ground) to the ground wire (if present). The red wire is often used for a second hot wire or switch leg; ensure it is capped off safely if not in use. Always use electrical tape or wire connectors to secure the connections and ensure safety.
In a typical dryer plug, the two hot wires are usually the red and black wires. The white wire is typically the neutral wire and the green or bare wire is the ground wire. Always consult the manufacturer's instructions to be sure.
You will first need to determine which wire is the hot wire in the ceiling box. Connect the swag kit's two wires to the hot wire and the neutral wire in the ceiling box, leaving the third wire unconnected. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated. You may need to consult a professional electrician if you are unsure about the wiring.
In the hot tub junction control box there should be three terminals. The terminal block might say line voltage. This is where the incoming "hot" wires connect. The red and black wires will probably be for the 240 volt pump motor and one of the two "hot" wires and the white wire will be used for the controls that control the pump.
You will connect the three black wires together, the three white wires together, and the three ground wires together. Use wire nuts to secure the connections. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and make sure to turn off the power before proceeding.
On a 3 wire dryer cord there is no green wire. The white wire coming from the outlet is connected to ground or the green screw. The black and red wires are the hot wires.
If both wires are black, the one that connects to your white wire is the one that should have little writing on it. Black to the plain black wire, white to the wire with writing.
Load (or hot wire, usually black or red), Neutral, (white), and ground,(green) wire.
Your black wires are your hot wires. The white is your neutral or common. It would be best to run an equipment ground (green wire) too.
If both wires are black then the one with the writing is the neutral wire. If the two wires are black and white then the white one is the neutral.
Ceiling fan wires typically come in three colors: black, white, and green. The black wire is for the fan's motor, the white wire is for the neutral connection, and the green wire is for grounding the fan.

When flexible cords are talked about the ground wire is in the conductor count. A four wire cord will have black, red, white, and green coloured wires in the flexible cable set. A three wire cord will have a black, white and green coloured wires in the cable set. To use a four wire cord to carry 220 volts just use the black, red and green wires. Connect to the cord ends. Black and red to the outside blade terminal screws and the green wire to the green ground screw. To use a three wire cord to carry 220 volts just use all of the wires. Black and white to the outside blade terminal screws and the green wire to the green ground screw.
The 1996 Toyota Camry ignition harness has three wires. The red wire is the hot wire. The black wire is the ground wire. The white wire is the auxiliary wire.
