[VAC] Re: FW: Same language different electrics?



Steve,
In the US on 110v (and up) the neutral is always white, and the ground
is always green or uninsulated.

Most 110v has black as the hot, but on multiple circuits it can be any
color BUT white or green, so if you find a wire with red, black, white,
and bare it has two hot wires. You probably won't find that in your
airstream but it is common in home wiring here.

If you run into anything weird let us know, and we'll try to figure it
out. I have seen some VERY "creative" wiring repairs that people have
done over the years, and you might run into one also :-)
