insulating board so that the entire portion is approximately 4 inches long. The nichrome wire produces heat rapidly with an electric current due to the high level of electrical resistance that the twisted wire holds. This preview has intentionally blurred sections.
These conductors are designated as follows: 1  Hot: The black wire is the hot wire, which provides a 120 VAC current source. 2  Neutral: The white wire is called the neutral wire. It provides the return path for the current provided by the hot wire. 3  Ground: The bare wire is called the ground wire. Like the neutral wire, the ground wire is also connected to an earth ground. However, the neutral and ground wires serve two distinct purposes. The neutral wire forms a part of the live circuit along with the hot wire.
