  When removing insulation from wire, do NOT score or put cuts on surface of copper wire. Doing so increases resistances on wire and creates weak point. Buy tools: Wire strippers at Amazon Linesman pliers Utility knife at Amazon |
 Buy: Multimeter Electrical testers |

| Difference between 120Volt and 240Volt? | |||

Difference
between 120V and 240Volt Inside main breaker box are Three busbars. One busbar is Neutral busbar. Two busbars are Hot busbars. Each Hot busbar is 'out of phase' with the other. All residential circuits require Two wires to complete circuit. 120Volt circuit requires 1 Neutral wire and 1 Hot wire. Hot wire can come from either Hot busbar. By Code, these wires are Black-Hot and White-Neutral. If either wire is interrupted, the circuit turns OFF. By code the Black Hot wire is switched ON-and-OFF. 240Volt circuit also requires 2 wires to complete circuit. In the case of 240V, the circuit requires 2 Hot wires. One Hot wire from each 'out of phase' busbar is required to complete 240Volt circuit. These wires can be Black and White or Black and Red, and with heavier gauge wires, like 6 gauge and 4 gauge, the wires are Black and Black. If either wire in 240V circuit is interrupted, the circuit turns OFF. See 30 amp switch turning off water heater Bare ground wire connects to Neutral busbar as redundant safety. |
