Does blue wire go to white?
Home › Articles, FAQ › Does blue wire go to white?The blue wire from the ceiling fan gets connected to the second live wire from the ceiling. This second wire can vary in color but is most commonly red or black. This connection allows you to power your lights from the second switch. Connect the white grounded wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the fan.

Q. Do blue and black wires go together?
Why Yes; you can connect if both wire are to be use for same purpose, that is if the black wire is use for neutral and you intend to use the blue wire for neutral you can connect.
Q. What is the blue wire?
The blue wire is known as the neutral wire and its job is to take electricity away from an appliance. This means that, if the live or neutral wires develop a fault causing any exposed metal to become live, there is a risk of electrocution as electricity can attempt to find its way to earth via the human body.
Q. Can red and black wires go together?
If the red and black wires are connected together already and energized, yes you can do that but you will need a pull chain light or a remote control, if they are not switch controlled.
Q. What are the 3 phase Colours?
For three-phase cables the phase colours are brown, black and grey, instead of red, yellow and blue, respectively, and the neutral colour is now blue instead of black. Again the protective conductor is identified by the colour combination green-and-yellow.
Q. What is the difference between yellow and white electrical wire?
For example, white sheathing means that the inner wires are 14-gauge and yellow sheathing indicates that they are 12-gauge. The National Electrical Code (NEC) says that white or gray must be used for neutral conductors and that bare copper or green wires must be used as ground wires.
Q. Is 12 gauge Romex always yellow?
The color of the sheath typically denotes the size of the wires contained within, although that’s not always the case (especially near outlets, as the yellow sheath of 12/2 or 12/3 cable often gets sprayed by paint or texture by the drywall crew, making it look white).
Q. What is the yellow electrical wire used for?
Yellow wires are used as switch legs to ceiling fans, structural lights, and outlets paired with light switches, while blue wires are usually used as travelers for three-or-four-way switches.
Q. Is yellow wire positive or negative?
Yellow is positive, blue is negative.
