How do you install a lamp that has a white and black wire?
First, you call a licensed electrician... The usual rule in the US at least is that black is the hot wire and white is the neutral wire. (If the wires are some color other than black and white, usually the darker wire is the hot wire.) However, you should never assume that whoever wired your house followed this rule; to be safe, you should always double check.
Can you get a shock from a white wire?
YES the white wire can shock. There are a few reasons why it might: 1) the white wire is actually connected to a switch. When the installer connects the white wire from the switch to the light, the National Electric Code requires the white wire to be "hot", and to be marked to indicate that it is hot. Sometimes this doesn't happen. The problem comes later when Joe homeowner replaces the light fixture. He sees the white wire with a black mark or maybe not, and connects the white wire to all of the other white wires. When the switch is turned on, the black wire that he placed on the other side of the switch connects to the white wire and trips the breaker. When Mr. Homeowner checks it out, touching the white wire gives him a shock. 2) The white wire returns the current to the source of the circuit. When the white wire is shared with two circuits, It returns the current from both circuits to the panel. When someone (even a professional) turns off only one of the circuit breakers to these circuits, the white wire still carries the current from the second LIVE circuit. If the person is replacing a receptacle withonly one of these circuit breakersoff, he or she could touch the white wire (called an open neutral) and get a shock from the returning current from the second circuit.
Should grooved wire be connected to white wire?
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.
Which side of the White neutral wire do you connect the Black power wire?
The neutral wire and power wire are never connected together.
Which is the hot wire red or white?
In the US, if you only have a black wire (ungrounded or hot conductor) and a white wire (normally a grounded conductor or neutral) there is not a ground wire. Sometimes the white wire is used as a hot, so each wire would have to be identified. <<<< Electrical work should only be done by a qualified electrician.>>>>
Is it safe to touch exposed electrical wire?
No, it is not safe to touch exposed electrical wire as it can cause electric shock or injury. It is important to keep a safe distance and contact a professional for assistance.
How do you wire touch sensor I have black grey brown and yellow from sensor lamp has several white wires from post plus one black?
Connect the black wire from the touch sensor to the black wire from the lamp. Connect the grey wire from the touch sensor to the white wires from the post. Connect the brown wire from the touch sensor to the remaining white wire from the lamp. The yellow wire is typically a ground wire and should be connected to the ground wire in the electrical box. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation.
Is it safe to touch a ground wire that is hot?
No, it is not safe to touch a ground wire that is hot as it could result in an electric shock or burn injury. It is important to always exercise caution and turn off the power before handling any electrical components.
When connecting chain switch what is done with the neutral wire and white wire from ballast?
The neutral wire from the chain switch is connected to the white wire from the ballast. They should be connected together using a wire nut to ensure proper circuit completion and safe operation of the light fixture.
Which wires are the live neutral and earth on a Chinese cable where the colours are brown blue and white?
In a Chinese cable with brown, blue, and white wires, the brown wire is typically the live wire, the blue wire is the neutral wire, and the white wire is the earth wire. It is important to double-check with a qualified electrician or follow local regulations to ensure safe wiring practices.
How do you convert don't touch live wire to passive form?
Live wire is not to be touched. or Live wire touch not..haha
How safe is lime wire?
it safe i dont know will is safe you can dowlod lime wire it fee
What is black and white single wire in ceiling fan for?
A black and white single wire in a ceiling fan is typically used for connecting the fan's light kit. The black wire is for connecting the live/hot wire, which powers the light, while the white wire is for the neutral wire, completing the electrical circuit. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions when connecting the wires to ensure proper installation and safe operation.
Is it safe to use a hot wire that is either black or white in color?
No, it is not safe to use a hot wire that is either black or white in color. These colors are typically used for neutral or ground wires, not for hot wires. It is important to follow proper electrical wiring codes and guidelines to ensure safety.
Can you connect a green neutral wire to a white neutral wire?
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.

Can a ground wire touch metal without causing any electrical hazards or interference?
Yes, a ground wire can touch metal without causing electrical hazards or interference because the purpose of a ground wire is to provide a safe path for excess electrical current to flow to the ground, preventing electrical shocks and protecting equipment.
