Identify Hot Wire And Neutral Wire In A Light Switch That Is Not Colored Labeled

Показать описание
Be safe and responsible if you do not know what you are doing consult an electrician! I show steps on how I identified a hot/black wire and a neutral/white wire in a old light switch.
Step 1: Turn the power off to the area that you are working on.
Step 2: Test to make sure the power is off with a tester and separate the wires.
Step 3: Plug in a grounded extension cord into a known grounded outlet (which has the face look).
Step 4: Turn the Power back on.
Step 5: Set your Multi-meter to AC Volts.
Step 6: Plug in the black lead from the Multi-meter into the grounded extension hole.
Step 7: Place the Red Lead on each wire (one at a time-making sure the wires do NOT touch each other) while looking at the Multi-meter to determine which one is getting more current. Usually the one with more current/volts is the Hot Wire.
Step 8: Turn the power back off.
Step 9: Mark the wires with colored electrical tape such as black and white electrical tape etc.
Step 10: Replace outlet with compliant hardware like a light switch or standard outlet.
Step 11: Turn the power back on.
Step 12: Test and then ENJOY your new outlet.
