Power Cord
How connect wires to new power cord plug?
I just replaced the plug on the power cord to my vacuum. There are two wires in the cord, one black and one white. On the wiring diagram the switch in the vacuum is on the black wire, so do I connect the black wire to the wider plug prong or blade? Is the black wire the grounding wire? Is the switch on the black wire in the vacuum to protect against power surges? Thanks for any replies.
The black goes to the smaller blade of the plug, the white always goes to the widest blade. The plugs now days are polarized to ensure that the neutral always goes to the neutral side of the outlet. And yes it does matter which wire goes where, you always break the hot side in your switch.
