What is the black wire in electrical wiring

Wire colors: RR wires Electrical cables have a specific color to help identify their function. (The color identifies the cable's use in household circuits and appliances, and how it should be handled. It also identifies the port it occupies in the socket.
The three most common colors are red, black and green. They are used for.
 Red wire: The red wire represents the phase in the circuit and is a live wire that cannot be connected to other red or black wires. It is often used as a switch foot, where the wire comes out of the bottom terminal of the switch and gets hot when the switch is turned on. This is the leg that can be used to turn the load on or off (this needs to be rewritten more directly).
Black wire: The black wire is the neutral wire, this wire is connected to the neutral bus bar inside the distribution panel. The bus bar is the conductive metal part used for distribution. The black wire can be connected to another black wire, which acts as the neutral wire and supports the load. The unbalanced load, i.e. the current returning to the switchboard.
Green: The green wire is the grounding conductor of the circuit. A green wire can only be connected to another green wire. The ground conductor is not used for lamps or fans, but mainly for plugs, such as sockets, fountains and other heavy appliances. Switches usually have only two wires, neutral and phase. The green wire provides a ground path for the electricity in the circuit, as it connects to a large copper plate buried in the floor of the social meter box.
Knowing the color code of the wires is information you should know before working with them. The color codes are different in each country, so it is best to ask a professional before starting work.

How to measure diesel engine rpm with a multimeter

How to measure diesel engine rpm with a multimeter What is RPM?:In this article we are going to show how to measure RPM with an automotive multimeter, however it is necessary to be clear about certain concepts. RPM  stands for Revolutions Per Minute and is a great way to see how hard your engine is working. When we talk about cars, we can interpret that the more RPM an engine has, the faster it will do its job, thus being able to achieve higher speeds. This result will be obtained accompanied by other factors such as the number of cylinders, and the good condition of the suspension, the transmission system and the torque. The most common way to measure the revolutions of an engine is using a tachometer, but this is an instrument that we do not usually have at home. However, if you have a multimeter it will be more than enough to measure the RPM of an engine. What are the best multimeters to measure engine rpm? Based on our experience, we recommend the Fluke brand   as it ...

How do 3 wire proximity sensors work

The different proximity sensors that we find in the market can be classified by the technology they use to feed and obtain the output of the sensor.  The different types of proximity sensors can be connected with two wires, three wires or four wires. Proximity sensor terminals The cables used for the sensors follow European and international standards that make it easy to distinguish which function each cable has. The cables or terminals that we are going to find in a proximity sensor, the mission that each cable fulfills and the nomenclature of the cable that comes from an abbreviation of the color of the cable in English is detailed below: Positive supply (+): The cable is brown and is called BN for brown Negative (-) supply: The cable is blue and is called BU for blue Sensor output : The cable is black and is called BK for black Antivalent or normally closed output : The cable is white and is called WH for white. Two-wire proximity sensors This type of proximity sensors that hav...

What are the symptoms of a faulty glow plug relay

What are the symptoms of a faulty glow plug relay Most people don't know what glow plugs are or how they work, but if you drive a Mercedes with a diesel engine, they are an important part of the engine. When it's cold outside and you turn the key to start the car, the engine can be difficult to start. Especially in diesel engines, the block and cylinder head have difficulty absorbing most of the heat of compression needed for ignition. The spark plug, which looks like a pencil-shaped piece of metal, ensures that the engine heats up quickly. Spark plug "firing" occurs when the engine is not hot enough for combustion and the heating element at the top of the spark plug is activated, thus accelerating the fuel ignition process. Over time, the glow plug relay will wear and eventually fail. As the colder months approach, you may notice that your car is not running as well as usual. If you suspect that the glow plug relay may be the culprit, read on to learn how to troubles...
