Red - active, (commonly known as your live cable)
Black - Neutral
Green - Earth
If there are three attachment points then you have a ground and two hots. The ground goes to the green screw and the hot wires can be connected to either hot screw. If there are four wires then the hots will likely be red and black. The white wire is the common or neutral and the green or bare wire is ground.
When flexible cords are talked about the ground wire is in the conductor count. A four wire cord will have black, red, white, and green coloured wires in the flexible cable set. A three wire cord will have a black, white and green coloured wires in the cable set. To use a four wire cord to carry 220 volts just use the black, red and green wires. Connect to the cord ends. Black and red to the outside blade terminal screws and the green wire to the green ground screw. To use a three wire cord to carry 220 volts just use all of the wires. Black and white to the outside blade terminal screws and the green wire to the green ground screw.
On a 3 wire dryer cord there is no green wire. The white wire coming from the outlet is connected to ground or the green screw. The black and red wires are the hot wires.
The cracked plug can cause the wires to spark and cause a fire. When the wires are plugged into it where the crack is the wires can touch the socket and cause the fire.
white wires are neutral. green wires are ground wires.
It means that the wires has different colors on it. I have an awkward family

Because the wires in plug OR socket are loose and arcing.
speaker is black-, blue with brownish stripe + on power connector their are 4 wires ,2 of them are black,1 green,last is black with green stripe
The wires for the left front window are red/black for up and green/black for white. For the right front window, the wires for up are red/white and the wires for down are green.
red - brown black - blue green/yellow - green
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.
If one of the wires is green and the other is black, the black one goes to the negative side of the coil and the green one feeds the tachometer.
Green= Ground Black = live White = Neutral
I am trying to replace a light socket on a floor lamp that has a base night light and it has 4 wires one white one black and 2 brown
blue and black makes purple
There is no configuration with that amount of wires. Proper connection requires three wires and a ground.
