White wire is usually used as a neutral conductor and a 240v ac unit has no neutral. Each leg of the 240 volts is a "hot" leg
However, very often a 12/2 or 14/2 NM cable is used to power small window ac units using 240v. In this case one of the conductors is white, but is not a neutral. It is good practice to mark the white wire with black tape so it is readily identified as a hot wire.
What else can I help you with?
Why are you not getting 240v between the two hot wires?
Because they are "in-phase". In order to get 240v, you need two 120v Alternating Current lines that are 180° out of phase, that is, opposite phases. Only when one line is +120v and the other -120v will you see 240v between the wires.

If you mean a pump wiring diagram, it depends what kind of pump you have, submersible or Jetpump. Both are very simple wiring and don't need a diagram. Both should be installed by a qualified well technician.
Do you have to run wiring in conduit if its in the ground?
Wire in conduit for underground feeders has to have an insulationrating for wet and damp locations. In the marketplace there is also wiring thathas an insulation rating for direct burial that does not need to be installed into conduit.

What process is involved for installing a 240V line in a house that needs to run about 35 feet for baseboard heating.?
To install a 240V line for baseboard heating that runs about 35 feet, you will need to first determine the wire size needed based on the amperage of the heater. Then, you will need to run the appropriate type of wiring (such as 10/2 or 10/3 copper wiring) through the walls or attic to the location of the heater. It is recommended to consult a licensed electrician to ensure the installation is done safely and up to code.
How do you wire a 1500W 240V flood light that has ground white and black wires?
the wires coming off double pole will give you 240 volts,110 each the black and white hook to these,doesn`t matter which way,ground to ground Ground is always ground, Black and white are your two "hots." You will need a dedicated circuit, you cannot run this off existing 120V wiring. A 15A 240V circuit should be more than sufficient. If this is a permanent instalation you can use 14/2 wire as you normally would, and wire it as you normally would with the exception of the 240V breaker. If you install switches, timers, etc. Make sure they are all rated for 240V. Remember, you can't just mix-and-match between 120 and 240V. 240 appliances will not run on 120 and 120 appliances will burn up on 240.
Can you join red and black wires to get 240V?
No, joining a red and black wire together will not give you 240V. To obtain 240V, you typically need to connect two hot wires (black and red) and a neutral wire. It is crucial to follow proper electrical codes and guidelines to ensure safety.
You are building a new house and trying to decide between 120v and 240v which is better More practical?
In the US, both 120v and 240v will be needed for your home, as different appliances need different voltages. Your TV needs 120V, while your electric dryer and stove will need a 120V/240V supply. If you have an electric water heater, or central AC unit, they will need a 240V supply.
240v box outside for a hot tub you need a 110v receptacle Can you wire it off the 240v box?
Using a box that is hire voltage than what you need can cause a short, and even a fire. So using a 240V box, when all you need is a 110v receptacle, wouldn't be a good idea.
What are the installation requirements for a NEMA 6-20 240V outlet?
To install a NEMA 6-20 240V outlet, you will need a dedicated circuit with a 20-amp breaker, appropriate wiring rated for 240 volts, and a compatible outlet box. It is important to follow local electrical codes and regulations when installing the outlet to ensure safety and proper functionality.
How can you get 240V single-phase power from a 240V 3-phase service Can you just connect to two poles of the 240V 3-phase service?
If the 240V 3-phase service is 240V phase-to-phase, then you can get 240V single-phase by simply picking two phases (poles, as used in the question) and connecting the load across them. This is simply one third of a standard delta connection. If you need 120V/240V split phase, i.e. with a neutral, as used in residential services, you will need a transformer. If the service is actually a four wire "quadraplex" service, however, you will probably already have that 120V/240V with neutral connection phase available. In this case, you will need to pick the two phases correctly in order to get the proper 120V service half.
What color other than red can be a hot wire?
Automotive positive and negative wiring colors can be any color, blakc can be hot, white etc, you need a wiring diagram
When you look at diagrams for wiring fluorescent lights you do not see clearly a neutral wire All electrical components need it Where is it in fluorescent lights?
Actually, many components do not have or need a neutral. 3-phase equipment such as motors, heaters and the like do not use a neutral. Some older 240V electric clothes dryers (in the US) did not have a neutral. The 2.5 ton, 240V airconditioner on my roof doesn't use a neutral either. Fluorescent fixtures do however, as you note, need a neutral. The two power wires coming out of the ballast are usually a black and a white wire in the US, the white wire is the neutral. On older fixtures with a separate starter, the white wire (neutral) may not go to the ballast. Instead it goes to the tube socket. It's still white, though. Note that many of the current rapid-start fixtures also need a grounded reflector to reliably start. These fixtures will require a hot, neutral AND ground conductor, properly connected, to work.

What gauge of wire is needed for a 70A 240V?
For a 70A 240V circuit, you would need a wire with at least an 8-gauge thickness to ensure it can safely handle the current without overheating. It's always best to consult with a licensed electrician for specific wiring requirements based on your local electrical code regulations.
How do you rewire a European 240V welder to work on US 240V?
The following is an educated guess. 240 Volts is 240 Volts. Unless the equipment inherently depends on some aspect of the frequency for operation [50 hertz instead of 60 hertz], it should work if you simply change the plug. WHY NOT CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER FOR ITS ADVICE?!
