Even though it is a clear wire, there will be a tracer of raised or indented rib on the wire to identify the neutral. You may have to run your thumbnail around the wire to feel it rather that see it. This ribbed identified wire will be the neutral leaving the other wire to be connected to the hot side of the circuit.
In household wiring it is the "hot" wire that carries current to the load.
If this is a home wiring question and the wires are black and white then black is Hot and white is Neutral. If you also have a red wire, it is the other hot wire, and either the black or the red wire to the white one would be 120 volts, and red to black would be 240 volts.
Typical house wiring in the United States is: Green or bare copper = ground White = neutral (Center tap of the feed transformer) Black or red = hot.
In residential wiring, if it is used as a switch leg or in 3 wire 240 volt circuits.
A person uses RED and BLACK to identify 2 hot wires. They are in essence 2 different circuits controlling the same device (range in your case). They are interchangeable YES.
Try GOOGLE hot rod wiring or similar, I found one for a T bucket.
In standard electrical wiring, the black wire is typically the "hot" wire carrying the current, while the white wire is the neutral wire returning the current. If the wire has clear insulation, it may be difficult to distinguish between the two visually. It is best to use a voltage tester to determine which wire is hot.
It sounds like there is a short circuit in the trailer wiring that is causing the fuses to blow and the black box to get hot. The melted ground wire is a clear indication of a wiring issue. You should have the trailer wiring system inspected and repaired by a professional to prevent further damage and ensure safe operation of the vehicle.
What are you wiring? The speedo is cable operated. If you are wiring up the lights, it doesn't matter, as long as you have a "hot" and a ground the lights will work. If you are wiring up one of the gauges built into the speedo it depends on which gauge you are wiring up.
Automotive positive and negative wiring colors can be any color, blakc can be hot, white etc, you need a wiring diagram
A hot towel will not clear up a cold sore.
Traditional hot wiring doesn't work, especially in the cars which have chipped keys. Even in those which don't, SAE J1939 multiplexing makes traditional hot wiring ineffective.
That depends if it is automotive or household wiring. On a car a black wire is almost always ground. On house wiring black is the supply (hot) wire.That depends if it is automotive or household wiring. On a car a black wire is almost always ground. On house wiring black is the supply (hot) wire.
SHUT OFF THE BREAKERS BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!!!! make sure you shut the right one off. You have three wires, one is hot one is ground, and one is neutral. just match them to the wiring in your house.
He was busted for hot wiring cars.
Something on that circuit is drawing more current than the wiring can safely handle.
red is usually the hot wire.
