How do you wire a 3 wire European oven white black green to a US receptacle with 4 wires white black red and bare?
red wire connected to live conductor of supply intake,while the white wire connected to neutral conductor or supply and the bare wire connected to the protective earthing of
If there are a red wire a black wire and a bare wire in a 120 volt supply wire which is the hot wire?
Where there is a red wire involved that usually indicates some type of special switching arrangement or more likely a 240 Volt circuit. In this case there will be 240 volts across the red and black and they will both be hot. Normally for 120 Volts the black is hot, the white is common and the bare wire is ground.
Have a black white and red wire for a dryer plug what ones the ground wire?
It would be green or bare. That's if you have a grounding wire in the cable. You may not have one.
In the United States is a neutral wire used in 120 VAC circuits?
Yes, in most cases it is the white wire. (the black or red wire is the hot and the bare wire is the ground.)
In the US where do the blue red green and white wires on a fan go to when the ceiling has red black bare copper and white wires?
Black to Black - Black from the ceiling is a hot wire and should be switched Red to Blue - Red wire is another hot wire and should also be switched White to White - White from the ceiling is the neutral and should not be switched. Your wall should have two switches, one will control the red wire, one will control the black wire. If you wire your fan as above, one switch will turn the fan on, the other will turn the light of the fan on.

How do you install 220 receptacle with white black and bare wires?
Assuming the wires are the correct gauge for application and breaker you use black and white wires as hot. Put red electrical tape on each end of white wire and connect red and black to the breaker output and bare wire to ground lug in panel. At receptacle connect black and red to hot contacts and bare wire to ground lug.

How do you add a neutral wire for 220 volts?
Standard wiring for 220 volts which is also referred to as 240 volts, commonly has four wires. One is red, one is black, one is white and one is a bare copper wire. The red and black wire carry 120 volts each, the white wire in usually your neutral which hooks up to your ground along with the bare wire.

How do you wire a electric garage heater drawing 5000 watts 240 volts to a30 amps circuit?
There should be two outputs on the 30 A breaker. You will need 10 AWG wire with 3-conductors and ground. Typically the wire colors will be Black, Red, White and (Green or bare). Connect black to one output of breaker and red to other output. Connect white to the white buss bar in main panel and green/bare to ground buss bar. At heater end connect the red and black to the 240 V leads, white to white and green/bare to the heater case.
