The Load wire is always hot (black or red wire) and the Line wire is the one that returns to your fusebox (usually white).

Answer above is absolutely wrong written by someone who does not know electricity and will get you electrocuted. The white wire is your neutral wire. The black or red coming from the electrical panel is the line wire. the black or red wire going to the next outlet or light fixture is your load wire. in some cases a white wire will be a line or load and should be indicated with black tape on it denoting it is not a neutral. quick recap is Line = power in, load = power out.

What color wire is for radio power in your 19 78 camaro?

Don't know the color of the wire but you will just have to use a test light to see what wire is hot to the radio.


Where can you find a wiring diagram for the rear leveling system in a 91 Park Avenue?

Go to Public Library and request GM Electrical Shop Manual for 1991 Park Avenue -- librarian will help you locate it. Has complete diagrams and dianostics. Might want to check Fuses #12 (20 amp) and #7 (25 amp) Too involved for detailed explanation, but there are 3 components: the compressor, the load sensor (at right rear spring), and a relay (in the RELAY_CONTROL_CENTER (behind the glove box). The YELLOW wire from the sensor pulls the relay which applies power to the compressor thru the BLK/LT GRN wire at the compressor's connector. The BLK wire at the compressor's connector is the GRD., the BLK/PPL is always HOT (thru fuse 12), and the WHT wire (when grounded) releases the pressure in the system.


Is it possible hook up an aftermarket stereo in a 1992 Eddie Bauer Explorer if the wires to the radio have been cut?

the answer is YES, use a test light to find the + and - wires (should be one ground wire and two hot wires [one hot all the time for your clock & one hot only when the key is on]) in order to find which speaker is which, use a 1.5 volt battery to make a popping sound in the speaker (won't hurt the speaker) and then the solid color wire will be your positive & the wire with the stripe will be your speaker ground.

How do you tell which is the line wire and the load wire?

The line wire will be hot and carrying power when the breaker is on. The load wire will not be hot and will have no voltage on it until it is connected with the line wire.


Is the hot wire connected to the line or load terminal?

The hot wire is typically connected to the line terminal.


What happens when you connect the line wire from the switch to the load wire from the wall?

This is what the purpose of a switch is. It connects the "hot" wire to the load. When this is done the load becomes energized.


What is the difference between a hot wire and a load wire in electrical wiring?

In electrical wiring, a hot wire carries the electrical current to the device, while a load wire receives the current from the device. The hot wire is typically black or red, while the load wire is usually white or gray.


What are the differences between a load wire and a hot wire in electrical circuits?

In electrical circuits, a load wire carries the electrical current to the device being powered, while a hot wire supplies the electrical current to the circuit. The load wire is connected to the device, while the hot wire is connected to the power source.


How do you wire dual switch-plug gfci which has extra wires?

To wire a dual switch-plug GFCI with extra wires, you need to identify the line and load wires. The line wires bring power to the GFCI, while the load wires carry power to additional outlets or devices. Connect the line wires to the line terminals on the GFCI and the load wires to the load terminals. Make sure to follow the wiring diagram provided with the GFCI and use wire connectors to secure the connections.


What is the difference between a hot wire and a load wire in electrical circuits?

In electrical circuits, a hot wire carries the electrical current from the power source to the device, while a load wire carries the current from the device back to the power source. The hot wire is typically black or red in color, while the load wire is usually white or gray.


The line side of a switch is the?

The line side of a switch is the side that receives the incoming electrical power supply. It is typically where the hot wire (or live wire) is connected. This side is responsible for regulating the flow of electricity to the switch and any connected devices.


What is the difference between light switch load and line connections in a circuit?

In a circuit, the line connection carries the electrical current from the power source to the light switch, while the load connection carries the current from the light switch to the light fixture. The line connection is typically connected to the hot wire, while the load connection is connected to the wire that leads to the light fixture.


What is black wire use for?

In household wiring it is the "hot" wire that carries current to the load.


What is the symbol for hot wire?

The symbol for a hot wire in electrical diagrams is typically represented by a straight line.


What are the differences between load cells and hot wire anemometers in terms of their applications and functionality?

Load cells are used to measure force or weight, while hot wire anemometers are used to measure air flow velocity. Load cells are typically used in industrial settings to weigh objects or monitor forces, while hot wire anemometers are used in HVAC systems and environmental monitoring to measure air speed. Load cells work by detecting the deformation of a material under force, while hot wire anemometers use a heated wire to measure the cooling effect of air flow.
