If that is a 240V unit then you are correct wiring L1 and L2 to black and red. Unless the unit uses 120V for something like a control panel, it doesn't need the neutral.

SOURCE: Mini Split Heat Pump wiring

Check to make sure it is single phase, should be stamped on unit. Is this wiring coming from what use to be there?

If you replaced the old unit with this one, you can trace the wires back to the breaker box. If you are Electrically inclined or you know someone who is.
Remove the panel and trace the nuetral and ground wire to the bus termination.

Some States require or use to require that the nuetral
and ground wire be tied together. 230 is 230v ,2hot and a ground.

My guess is you tie nuetral and ground together or
I wouldnt use white wire and I would disconnect
from both ends.

If you are uneasy about electricity, talk to a certified
electrician. Contact City Electrical Inspector. Dont get hurt!

SOURCE: 120v hot tub wiring diagram

I would expect your tub is either 110 or 220. Currently you are set up for 110. Based on that ... you disregard the red wire.

If your tub can run on 220, you should run it on 220 as this is more economical.

You should probably have an electrician check this out and make any changes to assure proper and SAFE operation of your tub. You are using a GFI, correct?

SOURCE: Hi.i got a new dryer and its 3 prong but the house

Ok. Let's simplify this for you. First and foremost you will want to remove the copper strip that goes from your center cord post the to case/cabinet of the dryer. This is to seperate your neutral and grounds within the machine. Some models used a green jumper wire instead of a copper strip but the idea is the same.
Now on the new cord the green (ground) wire is supposed to go to the connection point the copper strip used to go to on the cabinet. The white wire (neautral) is supposed to go to the center terminal connection on the terminal block and the red and black (L1 and L2) wires can go to either of the outside terminals.
The only difference in a four wire cord application is the segregation of the electrical neutral and the ground wires.
Good luck, hope this helps you!

I just bought a Sta-Rite Supermax VS Pump who could be wire at 110V or 220V. In the manual, the 220V wiring is well explained, but not the 110V.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE CONNECTING YOUR PUMP TO A GFCI BREAKER. If unsure call a pro.
The pump will run regardless of your L1 and L2 config.
Never assume that your wires are what you think they are: Ground, neutral, or hot leg. ALWAYS use a meter to confirm the voltage.

Hey Joey-
We need to establish something first!
Is this for a spa or pool. Are you aware that spa motors for the most normal part are "TWO" Speed. When the diagram on a motor shows: L1, L2, C, and then your Ground lug, that is for a 2 speed motor.
A single speed motor will normally be labeled L1, C or N & Ground. Sometimes C or N will be labeled as L2.
Motor manufacturers will normally label the former for 120 vac and the latter for 240 vac powered motors

Now, 2nd-
Electricity is color blind!!! It does not care what color the wire is that it is flowing thru, nor does know what color it is! It will not let the installer know when he is using green wire to connect between a breaker and say L1 of a motor. So, wire colors really will not help us assist you to tell you for sure which color to put where! Just Saying!

What you need to do is get a multi-meter and check each wire to ground. Since you said you have 4 wires, you probably have a 240 vac system and it is not unusual to have two of the same color for each hot 120 vac line. In your case the 2 black wires. Then normally a 3rd wire will be a different color from the two hot lines, which may have been like your Red line. and then a 3rd color wire for the ground, which is normally Green - but again, electricity is Color Blind, and it doesn't care what color the wire is. It is for our convenience to quickly identify wires by an accepted standard of colored wires. Black or Red for hot, White for common/neutral and Green for ground.

Anyway if you get two wires reading hot - 120 vac, take note of those wires. Then read across both of them - should be 240 or there abouts. Then check for continuity between the two other wires. If there is they are both downstream connected to a ground, but one is probably connected to an isolated neutral bus bar & is used as your 120 vac common or neutral and the last one is ground.

How to connect the power to the dryer

most likely 240volts as most 120 volt dryers are already wired,depending on if its a 3 or 4 wire system depending on local electrical codes,but if its a 3 wire cord,take the RED to terminal L1 and Black to L2 terminal on the dryer terminal board HINT:(the RED and Black can go on either L1 or L2 they are interchangable) ,then the White wire to the N neutral terminal on the dryer terminal board usuall between the L1 and L2 terminal,if theres a Green Wire on the cord this is safety ground and can be attached to any metallic part on the dryer,if its a gray flat cord the 2 outside wires are L1 and L2 the center is Neutral,
so its:
RED=L1 or L2
BLACK=L1 or L2
WHITE=N or Neutral
GREEN=Safety Ground the metal dryer frame

Does it matter wrong connection (switching cables) on a single phase electric mottor

Most larger 120 V motors have the option to be wired for 240 V, and as a result need half the current - which translates to lower installtion costs do to a wire size the can be reduced.

These motors have simple terminals like L1, L2 and two or more similar to 1, 2, 3, 4 or A, B, etc. that can be connected that permits selecting rotation direction, speed(s) and voltages.

Nearly all these motors will require that L1 and L2 terminals be connected to the power, whether it is a hot and neutral for a 120 v supply, or hot and hot as would be the case for a 240 v supply. It would then require the correct connection / jumper connection of the other terminals to tell the motor which voltage is being supplied. An incorrect combination here could be disastrous. Either way, L1 & L2 is power in. Consult the label on the motor to correct wiring - and if by chance one of the L1 or L2 terminals is specified for neutral, it should be connected that way.

I hope this helps & good luck!

I need to hookup up a Grasslin GM40 timer controlling one load and a 120vac application. Just wondering if someone could verify the hookup terminals as I cannot read the schematic as it is mostly gone. ...

Open following links to identify timer and download manual:
http://waterheatertimer.org/Intermatic-timers-and-manuals.html#GM

GM40 can be used for 120V or 240V 277V applications for single-phase and some 3-phase applications.
For 120Volt, set all 4 dip switches to ON position BEFORE applying power.
ON position is pushed to left.

120Volt cable from breaker box has black hot and white neutral wire.
Black hot typically connects to terminal L1
White neutral connects to terminal L2/N
This action will power the time clock and relays.

Other terminals on GM40 are the relay terminals, and these terminals are dry.
Dry means they receive no power when wires are connected to L1 and L2/N.

There are two independent relays and each relay has 3 terminals: NC NO and COM.
If you are controlling one 120volt Load, then use one relay.
Run a jumper wire from terminal L1 to COM terminal.
So COM terminal is connected to Hot.

Cable going to 120V Load has black and white wire.
Connect black Load wire to terminal NO (normally open).
Connect white Load wire to L2/N.

The power cord has a green ground wire; two hot wires, which are black and red; and a white neutral wire. Attach the neutral to the middle connector and the two hot wires to either end of the terminal.

I take it the wiring harness in front of me is 3 Phase. I have a Green wire, Red, Black and White. The wiring diagram on the back is marked L1, L2, N, E. Just need to know which wire goes where thanks.

It is not 3 phase...just single phase 240V....L1 goes to the one hot side of the 240 v, l2 goes to the other hot side of the 240V, N goes to neutral, and green goes to earth ground (metal box)
so....L1=Black L2=Red N=White E=Green

Whirlpool Dryer LER7646EQ1 Not heating

If your drive motor is turning, but your timer and heating circuits are not working, it sounds like you could be missing one leg of your 220 service. The dryer timer and heating circuits utilize the full 220 from the receptacle, while the drive motor only uses 120 VAC. Unplug your dryer and check the voltage at the wall receptacle. You should read 220-240 VAC across the two hot leads (these are the two large slots). The wires are BLACK - L1 & RED - L2. If you only read 120, check each slot to the NEUTRAL slot (white wire) to determine which one is missing. Chances are, you may have a break in the L2 (red wire) line. Here's the wiring scheme depending in which type of power cord you may have:

3-prong color code:

BLACK (HOT – 110-120VAC) – May also be referred to as L1
RED (HOT – 110-120VAC) – May also be referred to as L2
WHITE (NEUTRAL – 0VAC) – Usually grounded to the equipment frame via a jumper wire or metal strap.

4-prong color code:

BLACK (HOT – 110-120VAC) – May also be referred to as L1
RED (HOT – 110-120VAC) – May also be referred to as L2
WHITE (NEUTRAL – 0VAC) – DO NOT ground to equipment frame.
GREEN (GROUND) – Attach to equipment frame.

Please doublecheck and let me know. If your source voltage is correct, perform continuity checks from the end of the power cord to the terminal block in the back of the dryer. Inspect for any burned or broken wires. If you are not able to isolate a problem at this point, please post back and let me know. I can assist you further. I hope this helps.
