Does it matter which wire (hot or neutral) goes to which screw?

Depends. If you are using it for a heating element, it does not matter. If a DC Motor, it could determing which way the motor turns.

Not sure so I tried and think I got them matched correctly. My application was for a grinding tool, similar to a Dremel, so I wanted it correct. BTW, the included fuse is too low, go to an auto parts store to get a higher amp fuse to match the plug's capabilities. Sorry I don't recall specifics, it's been 10 months since I put this together but it was working well this week even I used the grinder a few times to sharpen chain saw chain. Seeing other answer, my grinder turns correct direction, so I got it correct (now I recall chkg this, forward vs. backward).

Evidently for my bulb basket and wires, it makes a difference which wire goes to nut and which is used for the screw. if I don't have the right wire the screw will not work. So for me it takes me twice as long to install the bulb cause I put wires on and then had to take the wires off, switch them and put them back on and then the screw worked. It also worked better to put the wire with screw on first, then the one with the nut.Also spent an extra minutes with turning tv on, then off, then unplug, plug in turn on, turn off. Finally figured out the tv was waiting for us to put the door back in. Who knew that the tv could tell if the door was on or not????

hook the yellow w/green stripe to ground wire(green), the blue wire is neutral (white wire),and the brown wire is hooked to the 120v hot leg(black wire). hope this helps.

the instructions should tell you which wires go to your black (hot) and white (neutral) wires. if there is a blue wire it is hot and goes to the black from your electrical box. if the other wire from the light is white, it goes with the white (neutral) try to make sure they are not touching each other when you stuff them back into the electrical box. the green wire is a grounding wire and goes to the bare copper wire from inside your electrical box. again, try to make sure these three separate couplings are not touching each other.

Those lugs are where you insert your 110/120v power. The N is for the neutral side or the white wire, and the L is for the load side, the black wire. If you are using a grounded wire power connection, which in my opinion you should use, the ground would go on the lug just to the left of the N connection, between the -V and the N. I am not an electrician, so if you have further questions, it is recommended that you seek an answer from a licensed electrician.

IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING, GET AN ELECTRICIAN. On my setup, no neutral wire was used. It does not connect into the unit. I spent a week trying to figure it out and even asked 2 electricians. The instruction doesn't say, but if you look at the wiring diagram it is clear.

Yes. In a regular outlet it will indicate if the hot and neutral are reversed , if the hot and ground are reversed, if you have an open hot, if there is an open neutral, if there is an open ground and if the outlet wiring is correct.

wire the same as original solenoid on small screw look for I or ign this you wire small ign.wire these are intermittent solenoids normaly mounted facing you common hookup hot wire large wire right side wire to starter left side do not hook up any ground wires if not on original self grounding.

You most likely need a switch with only black, white, & green. The red wire is hot though. With about half of the switches out there, you can wire nut the red & black to the black running to your panel. Not with the one you just got though.

This is a three way switch and it wires no differently than other three way switches. You would be only be wiring hot (black), traveler (red) and ground (bare) to the switch.... The neutral (white) would not be involved with the switch. Not sure if that answers your question. Please study wiring carefully or use an electrician if you are unsure of how to install these.

I am not the most reliable helper. My suggestion: take off the screw from a comparable outlet and check if it fits the other outlet. In Hawaii, all the outlets use the same size screw. Good Luck! Ken A

either set, it does not matter. It is designed to be used as either a standalone or pass-though base, the second set will feed this lamp as well as the first set would. The electricity doesn't care. Just pick a screw on either side for each wire, don't put both wires on one side! :)

If I understand your question I believe the answer is yes, INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:* Connect the Ground (Green) wire to the Green screw.* Connect the HOT (Black) wire to the Black screw* Connect the other wire (Load) from the previous switch to the yellow screw.* Connect the NEUTRAL (White) wire to the silver screw. This is requiredfor the nightlight to work.

Either type can provide a good connection, and that's what matters. I think screw-type connectors are easier to use, though.

No. Unfortunately each has one prong that is different. They are not interchangeable. You can tell the difference by whether the bent prong turns in or out

It doesn't matter as long as you make sure negative is connected to negative and positive is connected to positive. Same copper wire, just different plastic coatings. If it helps to keep everything wiring correctly for you, then use the blue stripe for all of your negative connections. You have made a good buy. Excellent speaker wire!

Your hot wire from the wall should go to port 1 and 3. Neutral from the wall should go to 4 and neutral of the receptacle. Port 2 should go to the hot of the receptacle. ground from the wall should go to ground of the receptacle. Do you have an ohm meter? You can check to make sure that your wires are connected to the proper pins of your receptacle and cable. See here: http://cdn.instructables.com/FD5/BGJG/GZLW99UC/FD5BGJGGZLW99UC.LARGE.jpg
