More information is needed as to what device you are connecting to what power supply. The only two identifiable wires are the white and green. In North America the white colour is used for the circuit's neutral and the green is used for grounding of devices.

How do you hook up a 3 wire water herter to 4 wire circut?

4 wire household wiring is black, red, (hot wires) white (neutral) and bare or green (ground wire). You say 3 wires. Is it 120v or 240v. If its 240v which is more common just use the two hots and the ground and cap off the neutral wire.


How do you wire duplex receptacle using14-3 wire Also with 14-2 wire The wires are already ran to 15 amp breakers and capped off. i would like to hook them up. Thank You?

Sort of confusing are you using 14-3 just for the receptacle with 14-2 to the breaker or the other way around. Either way doesn't matter since you only need 2 wires and a ground for the outlets. The 14-3 should have Red, Black, White and bare wires. 14-2 should have Black, White and bare. All you need are Black, White and Bare. Forget about the red one. Hook the two outlets together with short jumper wires about 6 inches long. Looking at the outlet with the ground facing down, the bare wire goes on the bottom green terminal. The white wire goes on the left side of the outlet. The black goes on the right side of the outlet. Take the 6 inch jumper wire and go from the left side of one outlet to the left side of the second outlet. White to white, black to black, bare to bare. Connect the wires coming from the breaker to the other terminals on one of the outlets. Power comes in to one outlet and then to the second. If the wires are capped in the breaker box, you only need to connect the Black White and bare ones. Do this with the power off.


How do you hook up ele plug in wires coming in to house the plug has white black and ground wires and the wire from the house has white black red and ground hooked to a 30amp fuse?

You will have to check to make sure. Normally, with 4 wires, the black and red are both power for 220. White for neutral and bare for ground. If you are only using one leg of it, you would use the black, white, bare ones and cap the red one. Someone may have used the 4 strand because they had it or 220 was planned but not done or both the red and black are hot. You should be able to tell in the panel. Do the red and black both connect to separate breakers or to one or is the red not connected?


How do you wire a ballast that has two black wires for a one tube fluorescent lamp?

There should be a black & white wire coming from the light. Hook black to black and white to white. Then connect the ground wire to the light chassis. You need 12/2 with ground for the circuit. You do not need a light fixture box for these type lights.


Can you put amale 4 prong plug on the end of a 3 wire stove top?

Yes. There will be no wire connected to the neutral terminal in the plug. The neutral terminal should have a silver screw. If not, the neutral will be the straight prong right on top and a little between the other two straight prongs.- - - - -No you can't. Cooktops are, by code, hardwired in. No plug allowed!You should have a black, either a white or red, plus either a green or bare wire. Black to black, If the junction box has four wires--black, red, white and bare--cap the white because you won't need it (cooktops are wired like water heaters--two hots, no neutral) hook the green or bare to the bare on the AC service, black to black and white or red to red.See Discuss Question button below.

Where do you hook up Black white green red for home stereo receiver hook up?

The black and white cables, or possibly black and red, are analog audio. Green is one of the three component video wires, bundled together as red green and blue. Without knowing what components you have we have no idea where you should connect these, or if it is even possible with the gear you have.


How do I wire a Kitchen outlet?

Black wire to gold screw, white wire to silver screw, ground to green screw. If you are using a GFIC outlet then the hot wires coming in hook to the Line side of the GFIC receptacle and the wires going out to other receptacles hook to the load side.


I am changing a 3-prong to a 4-prong on a Speed Queen dryer. There is no indication as to color-coding for the wiring. Also there are 2 green screws instead of one. How do I decide which wires to hook?

The forth wire is to ground the body of the dryer. The cord should have red, black, white, and green wires. Red and black are hot, the white is neutral, and green is ground. The red, white, black in that order or reversed, black white, red, should go in a row where they connect to the dryer with the green one probably above it. If the center neutral lug has a bond to the chassis remove it. You have a dedicated wire to replace it now.

How do you hook up a three phase welder?

Easy as one,two and three. There are four primary wires coming from you service panel.(provided you have three phase service) you can check by looking at the weather head on the roof. if it has three wires you have single phase but if it has four then you have three phase. the hot wires will be black,red and brown. the neutral will be white or green. the welder should have a manual that will give you the lead phase wire(most likely black to black) the other two hot wires can hook to any other hot wire. The neutral goes to the white or green and posts to the panel. If the welder has a switching power supply then you must have a three phase converter.

typically, you get red and black, or black and white. black is negative 99% of the time. red or white would then be your positive or power. with speakers, if you hook it up backwards, it won't blow the speaker, but the sub will hit in instead of out which sounds awful
