Identifying the Electrical Wires in Your Home (North America only)
- Line: usually black (may also be called hot, live or power), carries 100-277VAC electricity into the wall box
- Neutral: usually white or white wire bundle, commonly daisy-chained from box to box
- Load: usually black, from a separate cable jacket
- Ground: bare copper wire or metal fixture (if grounded)
Identifying the Electrical Wires in Your Home (Europe/Australia/New Zealand)
- As wire colors vary from country to country, make sure you always check your electrical wires with a voltage meter to
correctly identify line, load, neutral and ground wires
IMPORTANT!
If you have any difficulties or questions, consult an electrician. If you are not knowledgeable about, and comfortable with,
electrical circuitry, you should have a qualified electrician install the product for you.
