How you can find live and neutral pole in a ac supply?

The live pole carries the supply voltage and is usually colored brown or red. The neutral pole completes the circuit and is typically colored blue or black. Using a voltage detector or a multimeter set to AC voltage mode, you can identify the live wire by measuring the voltage between each wire and the ground, as the live wire will show a voltage level.


How will you locate a current carrying wire concealed in a wall?

Using a non-contact voltage detector or a stud finder with a live wire detection feature can help locate a current carrying wire concealed in a wall. Move the detector along the wall to identify the presence of live wires without having to physically access them. It is important to exercise caution and follow all safety procedures when working around electrical wiring.
