Black is used for the "Hot" wire.
White is used for the "Neutral" wire.
Green (or bare wire with no insulation) is used for the "Ground" wire.
IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO SOME ELECTRICAL WORK
SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY
REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
If you do any such work yourself, always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use a meter or voltage indicatorto insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
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.
Wall receptacles are wired in parallel. black to black, white to white, ground to ground.
the black wire is the hot wire
In a household circuit, with a "hot" conductor insulated black and a white neutral, the black wire should connect to the center terminal of the socket. The outside part of the socket usually has a brass screw (for the black wire) and a nickel screw (for the white wire).
In typical American wiring the black wire on an outlet goes to the gold (copper) screw and the white wire goes to the silver screw. The ground wire goes to the green screw.
The black wire is typically hot, while the white wire is neutral.
In a standard electrical wiring setup, the black wire is typically the hot wire, while the white wire is the neutral wire.
To connect a timer to a white and black house wire with red, black, and white wires, typically the black wire from the timer connects to the black house wire, the white wire from the timer connects to the white house wire, and the red wire from the timer connects to the red wire from the house. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and turn off the power before installation.
The red wire typically goes to the black wire.
The red wire typically connects to the black wire.
The last fixture in a parallel circuit is wired the same as the first. In North America, all of the fixtures are wired black wire to black wire and white wire to white wire. The black wire being the "hot" wire and the white wire being the neutral wire.
The black wire is considered hot.
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.
The difference between a black wire and a white wire in electrical wiring is that the black wire is typically used as the hot wire to carry electrical current, while the white wire is usually used as the neutral wire to complete the circuit and return the current to the power source.
Black Wire from photocel to hot wire(black) coming in red wire to light fixtures black wire. White wire to neutral wires all light and power source white.
In electrical wiring, the black wire is typically the hot wire.
The black wire is typically the hot wire in a standard electrical wiring setup.
