markrvp:
Congratulations to you.  It really is exciting when you do it the first time (and the second, and the third, and the fourth...).

Praise to you also for doing your research before asking questions as evidenced by your knowlege of Bob Roberts AC wiring diagram.

It's not just monitors, it's all AC electrical appliances.

black = hot...?

everything i have ever dealt with has always had black being neutral/ground...and then either red or white being hot...

that's why i thought it was weird that he was saying black was hot...and even weirder that you are saying that's how it is with all electrical appliances...

I did a Google search to confirm (because I've seen other posts in this forum that also says white = hot) and what I've found is that

BLACK is hot.
WHITE is neutral.
GREEN is ground.

The list goes on... The only places I find people saying the opposite is in these forums.
