It depends on the voltage and if it is a branch ciriut or a service. If it is under 30 v olts 6 inches will work. If it is 120 volt branch circiut it needs to be on a GFI, on a 20a breaker and either in a condiut or uf cable to be 12 in . If it is not on a gfi , and it is over 20 a then it must be 18 in. Regardless the wire must be in condiut or be of UF cable to make it water tight.

Can you connect 2 wire to 3 wire house has black white red and ground Appliance has black white and ground?

It seems like you are describing the Red, Black, White and Ground in your electric panel. There is 240 VAC between Black and Red and 120 VAC between Black and White and 120 VAC between Red and White. The electric panel has two busses that supply 120 VAC on alternating breakers in your panel. Essentially, the Red turns into "black" in the panel for all practical purposes. If you have a 240 VAC circuit it essentially takes up to two vertical positions in your electric panel.
