What wire carries the electrical current to the appliance?
The black wire is the hot wire through which the electrical current flows to the appliance. The left over voltage which is usually zero flows back to the main circuit panel through the white neutral wire where it flows to ground.
How does the white wire on an outlet become hot?
a shorted out outlet can cause a backfeed on the white wire, an open circuit on the white wire with and electrical appliance plugged in to an outlet can cause the same type of backfeed
What wire carries the current away from the appliance?
for safety purposes the safety ground in normal operation, both the hot and neutral alternately
Is the neutral wire energized when the appliance is off?
No current flows in the circuit when the circuit is open, as in when the appliance is switched off. The voltage is on the "hot" side of the switch when it is in the open position but the neutral is not energized until the switch is closed.
How do you wire a relay to control a 220V circuit with two hot wires?
You need a double pole relay, that is a relay with 4 connection places. [screws, etc.]. Place your 2 hot wires on the screws marked line, makes no difference which wire on which screw. The 2 wires being energized by the relay action go on the load screws of the relay. Square D makes a good quiet relay. Also make sure you buy a relay large enough to carry the load. The amperage on the device the relay is to control will determine the relay size. See View Discussion for more information.

The main purpose if the grounding pin in a three-prong plug for an appliance is to?

Before you touch a wire in an appliance how should you make sure that it is NOT hot?
You can use a wire tester to determine if a wire is live. You can also touch the positive wire on the ground wire, if the wire produces a spark it is live.
Why would a horn sound intermently?
Relay problems or a floating hot wire.
How does a person know if the fuel pump is not working and not the relay switch?
Take the relay out and hot wire the pump. If it works, its not the pump.
