Being Irish living Switzerland this video just saved me a small fortune. I bought 3 electrical appliances on the internet for my daughter at Christmas and the were wired up for the US market. I trawled the internet and youtube looking for the answer on how to identify the live wire. Your simple video in less than 2 minutes explained everything. This morning I had one happy daughter. Keep em coming!

Thank you! You gave my simple question a simple answer. I'm replacing the 3-prong plug on a toaster oven that has 3 wires, but only the ground wire has a green covering over it. There are no coverings on the other two wires. So, which is black and which white? Your explanation cut to the quick. The white has raised groves along its side and the black is smooth. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

How do you figure out which wire is positive or negative on the antique fabric wrapped wires? I’m trying to rewire the main wire to an antique 3 light bulb light fixture and the old positive and negative wires are exactly the same but 3 are dark brown and 3 are light brown so I don’t know what colour is positive or negative. I wired it up and it works but I don’t know if I did it right, if it works is it done correctly? I don’t wanna burn my house down lol 😆

Great one. I have black and red going to my battery bank in my Van. (not white). Red is hot (positive) , black is negative/ground. I think what you're saying is Black is positive, white is negative?
