Do you connect a fuse to the live wire or the neutral wire?

A fuse is typically connected to the live wire in a circuit. This is done to protect the circuit from an overload or short circuit, as the fuse will blow or trip and cut off the current flow if there is an issue.


How do you connect chandelier if no colors on wire?

If the chandelier wires have no color coding, start by identifying the wires based on their function. Typically, you'll have a live (hot) wire, a neutral wire, and a ground wire. Use a multimeter to test for voltage and determine which wire is live, then connect it to the corresponding live wire from your electrical system. The remaining wire should be the neutral, which connects to the neutral wire in your electrical system, and ensure that the ground wire is securely connected to the ground. Always turn off the power at the circuit breaker before working on electrical connections.


What happens when you connect the wrong wire to the live in a three wire ceiling light?

Connecting the wrong wire to the live can cause a short circuit, leading to potential damage to the light fixture, electrical system, or even pose a risk of electric shock. It is important to always consult a professional electrician to correctly identify and connect wires in electrical installations.


I see only a red and a green wire coming out from ceiling box. What are they and how do you connect them to a ceiling light?

Normally red or black is the hot wire and green is the ground. However someone may have used the green wire as the neutral wire which is normally white. Just connect the black wire from the light to the red wire and the white wire from the light to the green wire and see if it works. If not you have to pull the wires out of the ceiling box and see how they wired it.


Does the ground wire from a 240 volt tankless water heater connect to the common wire?

Any ground wire has to be connected to an independent ground wire that returns directly to the distribution panel and not to the neutral of the circuit.

How do you wire a wire to a wire?

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.

Does all romex have a ground wire?

Some older wire does not have a ground. All you can do in that case is use a jumper wire to connect the ground to the neutral.

What do you do with the ground wire when installing a new thermostat that doesn't have a connection for the ground wire It's a 4 wire Honeywell thermostat Is it ok to not connect the ground wire?

That Thermostat is LOW voltage. IT does not have a ground wire. There is no need for a ground. it only opperates on 24 volts. there may be a green wire but it does not mean it is a ground
