Well, if you want to know for sure, you may want to check it with a meter. If you have red and black, then you should be dealing with 220VAC. There should also be a white wire. The white is nuetral, the red is 110 and the black is 110 with reference to nuetral. The red in reference to the black will be 220 and the copper should be ground. Good luck.

Wires are shade coded black, pink, white and green, continually use a heavier grade of cord than what's in the homestead now, for defense sake. additionally be sure you floor all your wall plugs and switches. yet another factor do no longer purchase low-fee wall plugs and switches, use quailty, might fee greater yet in the long-term, will final lots longer. purchase a tester, attempt each and each connection as you pass alongside. homes have 220/240 voltage coming from the line, in case you have an air conditioner or others that calls for 220 volt, you're able to used a 220volt plug, heavy duty. as quickly as you complete wiring your place, have a qualified electrician inspect it. this variety in case you made a mistake he can permit you be responsive to what's incorrect so which you will terrific it. your place is your satisfaction and exhilaration.

No offense, but -
If you don't know this you probably shouldn't be doing your own wiring.
However, red is normally hot (live) and black neutral, at least in the UK.
Copper is earth.

red is positive, black is negitive, and bare copper is earth or ground. these are the old colours in the uk, now it is brown positive, blue negitive and green earth/ground.
