β 16y agoI'd suggest checking into the electrical codes for your location because often it's not legal for people to do their own electrical work without at least an inspection by an electrician BEFORE power is applied. Having said that, the black wire normally indicates "hot". I'd recommend that you try to look at a similar outlet to see how it is wired, or check Wikipedia for electrical wiring. House wiring is of course extremely dangerous. Make sure that you understand the safety rules before working on anything electrical.

β 16y agoThe black wire should be connected to the hot terminal on the outlet for a 240v window AC unit. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and consult with a licensed electrician if needed to ensure proper installation.
Yes, you can install a switch to turn off power to the 240V outlet that your window AC unit is plugged into. This can be done by installing a double-pole switch rated for 240V that interrupts power to both hot wires simultaneously. Be sure to follow proper electrical safety guidelines and consult with a licensed electrician if needed.
You cannot plug a 240V appliance directly into a standard 120V outlet as it can cause damage or be a safety hazard. You would need a dedicated 240V outlet and possibly a step-down transformer to safely use the appliance. It's recommended to consult an electrician for proper installation.
In a 240V cable, the black wire is the hot wire and connects to one of the hot prongs on the dryer outlet. The white wire is the neutral wire and connects to the neutral prong. The bare copper wire is the ground wire and connects to the ground prong on the outlet.
No, a 240V 22A welder requires a 240V outlet for proper operation. Plugging it into a 120V outlet will not provide enough power and could damage the welder or create a safety hazard. It is important to always use the correct voltage and amperage for electrical appliances.
For a 240V outlet, you should use a fuse that is rated for 240V. The fuse's amperage rating should match the amp rating of the circuit and be appropriate for the connected devices. It's important to use the correct type and rating of fuse to protect the circuit from overloading and electrical hazards.
Disregard the neutral

What is the voltage? 120V the right blade with the blades facing you. 240V both.
At 80% load factor you can support 60 fixtures.
No.
The whites are Neutrals or Grounds and the Red and Black are each 120v. One white and either the black or red for 120v and one white, both the red and black for 240v.

You will burn up your appliance!!!!!
