Which one goes where??

Juice Daddy · 03-08-2006, 10:10 AM

I have a white and black wire

and a circuit board with L and N

I assume L = Live

and N = Negative

but I can't remember which wire goes where

A circuit board could be anything. My guess is Black->L and White->N.
Just guessing, though.

That is correct. The black wire should be live, and the white should be ground/negative.

Of course, that's by US convention. You should check with the manual for the product to make sure they didn't follow some foreign standard (or more likely, no standard).

Remember, the more people they can fry, the less they have to feed.

k... thanx

Eh... Um, I do a lot of wiring and stuff in my truck with DC stuff. Black is always ground. Black is ground in every car I've worked on. The light colors (reds, whites) are always live.

now what will I do...

I have no manule to consult...

can any one verify this...

I am trying to sauder the white and black wires to a power supplies circuit bored... which has L and N...

Well, technically, as long as you remain faithful across the length of the wire, it doesn't matter does it? If A goes to A and B goes to B, the electrons don't care what color the wire is.

What exactly are you doing to the PSU?

Juice Daddy · 03-09-2006, 10:05 AM

putting the chip into a different case...

I don't know all the technical names, sorry...

on the back of the psu case there is a three pronged outlet plug in thing...

that goes to the switch... and from there comes two wires... black and white...

I need to sauder those to this new chip...

on the chip (where they need to be saudered) it is labled L and N...

I've assumed L = Live and N = Negative...

but I don't know which goes where...

so... rather than point A to B.. I have W, B, L, and N...

idk... I probably need to open up another psu and see where those are connected

This doesn't make any sense. -What- chip?

Juice Daddy · 03-09-2006, 11:35 AM

umm...

this isn't exactly what I have but... it should clear things up...

that chip (in the green circle)

like a psu motherboard or something...
