Ac Power Wiring
When wiring to supply power you are creating an electrical circuit.
Ac power wiring. A continuous circuit consists of a hot wire a neutral wire and a ground. Electricity flows through the hot wire to a device or power receptacle and back through the neutral wire. A main concern is the amperage requirements of the compressor. The hot wire goes on the brass terminal screw the white wire goes on the chrome one and the ground wire goes on the green one.
