Frequently Asked Questions

What is the color code for residential electrical wiring?

Electrical wiring color codes include black, red, green or bare, white, and blue or yellow. The color code indicates what a specific wire's function is.

What color is an electrical hot wire?

In practice, hot wires are either black or red in a 120- or 240-volt residential electric circuit. Black is the default color, and the wires in a 2-conductor cable with a ground wire are white and black.

What color is the common wire in household wiring?

The most common colors are black, red, blue, yellow, green, and bare copper. Black wires indicate that a wire is hot. Red wires also indicate a hot connection. Yellow wires and blue wires are also used for hot connections, but they are used in switches that have three or four-way connections.

Which electric wire is hot black or white?

The hot wire in a 120-volt residential AC circuit usually is coated with black insulation, while the return, or neutral, wire is white . A single-pole, single-throw switch - such as a light switch - works by interrupting the hot wire, so it has two brass terminals for the hot connections and no silver terminals for neutral.
