When viewing the face of the receptacle from the front and the round ground hole down, the black (hot) wire is on the right and the white (neutral) wire is on the left. There is a difference in the length of the flat slots on the front of the receptacle, also. If the receptacle is still oriented as above, the longer slot will be on the left and the shorter slot will be on the right. The white (neutral) wire goes to the long slot and the black (hot) wire goes to the short slot.
Good luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rob Monitor To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2007 9:11 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] where does the wier go Hi, I'm wiring my shed so I can use my electric wood splitter in it. What I need to know is which side of a outlet plug does the white and black wire go. When you have the plug so the round ground hole on the front of the plug is down what side does the black wire go.
