Hopefully you have turned the power off so it makes no difference which you disconnect first.

Can you use a neutral wire from a existing 110 volt 20 amp circuit to supply a neutral for a washer dryer combo that has only a 220 volt 30 amp 2 wire?
No !
What is the Color of neutral wire in 120 volt circuit?
For wiring in the USA the Neutral conductor is required to be white or gray by the National Electrical Code.
What size wire for neutral in a 240v 30 amp circuit?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.240 volt two wire circuits loads do not need a neutral to operate. A three wire 240 volt circuit that needs a neutral, will have a neutral the same size as the current carrying conductors. In this case a #10.
Is red or white neutral for electrical work?
In residential wiring the white wire is neutral on the 120 volt circuits. On a 3way circuit the red is the traveler and the white is neutral. On a 240 volt 3 wire connection the white & black are hot. On a 240 volt 4 wire connection the black and red are hot and the white is neutral.
In a 240 volt single phase circuit A phase is 4000 watts B phase is 7000 watts what is the neutral load?
Question is incorrect. in a 240 Volt single phase circuit, how can you have A phase and B phase?
Can you use the ground conductor in a 14 AWG 2 conductor with a ground for the neutral in a 220V 15 amp circuit with less than 50ft run?
yes <<>> No, the ground wire is never to be used as a neutral. In this case if you need a 120 volt circuit from the 220 volt circuit a three wire cable (3C #14) must be installed.
How do you connect a volt to a circuit?
A volt can not be connected to a circuit.
Is the voltage on a 120 volt fluorescent lighting circuit the same from line to neutral and line to ground?
Yes, to the precision you can measure it. If it isn't you need to check the ground to neutral bonding at main panel and check the wiring in the circuit for loose connections.
Why does the phase t neutral read 69 volts on a 120 volt circuit?
Assuming you are using the correct meter with true RMS you most likely have a loose neutral somewhere in the circuit. Try to measure from hot to ground. If this measures 120V then you most likely have a loose neutral somewhere.
Can you use an adapter to use a 120 volt appliance in a 240 volt outlet as there are some at the hardware store for 30?
If it is a 120/240V receptacle (such as for a dryer), then yes, there are two 120 volt leads and a neutral in the 240 circuit, the adapter is just using one 120 volt lead and the neutral to convert it to a 120 volt circuit.If the circuit is just 240V, then there is no neutral.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
Why do white wire mark 120v?
Because the white wire on a 120 volt circuit is the neutral wire that is connected to the silver screw on outlets and switches. It is connected to the neutral bar in the service panel.
What size neutral for 60 amp circuit?
what kind of circuit? if it's a subfeed from one panel to another same size as hot wires. if it's a straight 240 volt circuit #8. depends on what kind of circuit.
