I am taking this question to mean that you are making an installation using two wire cable that has a black and white in it. In this situation the white is not called a neutral. At the distribution panel end the white wire does not connect to the neutral bar. It will go to one side of a two pole breaker. the other side of the breaker will connect to the black wire of the cable. On the 230 volt receptacle end the two wires will connect to either side of the receptacle. Make sure that the cable wiring is rated to take the amperage that your plug-in device will draw. The last thing to do is identify the white wire as a "hot" current carrying conductor. This is done by placing black tape around the white wire. This is done at both ends of the cables white wire. This is done to ensure in the future that is someone else works on the circuit they will know that the wire is not a neutral conductor.In the market place there is a new cable that has no white wire in it. This cable is used for wiring baseboard heaters and has a different colour jacket to identify the type of cable it is. The internal wiring colours are black and red. This wire is used for all 230 volt circuits.
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.
Actually they have 3. A round ground, wide neutral, and narrow hot. If it only has 2 it is an old outlet with no ground wire. If that is the case in your home, I highly suggest you connect a jumper wire from the ground screw to the white neutral wire on the silver screw to provide some protection. Do this at every outlet in the home. Replace all the outlets in your home with new ones if they are so old they do not have a ground connection.
The neutral wire and power wire are never connected together.
The white wire would go to the neutral bar. Just be sure of the shunt trip voltage required for the breaker and land the white wire on the appropriate neutral bar in the correct panel.
If you are referring to lamp cord type wire where both wires are brown then yes, connect the wire with the groves to the white neutral and the smooth wire to the black hot wire.
Connect to the circuit neutral wire which should also be white.
Black & Red are hot, and White is neutral. If it has no place to connect neutral connect neutral to ground.

In theory this should only ocure at the main junction box ... but if EVERYTHING is done right, then it is safe - but not in code.

Neutral will be closest to protective earth ground. In the US, neutral is white. we can check using tester ,when tester is connected to phase only lamp of the tester glows and when it is connected to the nuetral the lamp does not glow. another method is, connect the voltmeter to any one of the terminal and ground if the voltmeter shows 110v 0r 220v then it is phase and the other is nuetral.
If you are connecting 120 volts, you connect the black wire to the breaker, white wire to the neutral bar, and ground wire to the ground bar. If you are connecting 240 volts connect the black & white wires to the breaker, & ground wire to the ground bar.
This will not work. Your neutral blade is gone. You need both for it to work.
Yes, for most switches and outlets in the US, the neutral wire (typically white) connects to the silver screw. The hot wire (typically black) connects to the brass screw, and the ground wire (typically green or bare) connects to the green screw.
The Neutral Colors are white,brown,grey and black.
