How do you wire a relay to control a 220V circuit with two hot wires?
To control a 220V circuit with two hot wires using a relay, you would typically connect one hot wire to the common terminal of the relay and the other hot wire to the normally open (NO) terminal of the relay. When the relay is energized, it will close the circuit between the common and NO terminals, allowing the electricity to flow through the circuit. Be sure to follow proper safety precautions when working with high voltage circuits.
How does the white wire on an outlet become hot?

What wire carries the current away from the appliance?
for safety purposes the safety ground in normal operation, both the hot and neutral alternately
