Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.
Range receptacle three to four
First thing to do is turn off the breaker to the range. Look in the back of the range receptacle box that is in the wall. The three wires coming in should have a bare ground wire in the cable set. It wasn't brought to the receptacle because there was no place for it on the three wire receptacle. If you find it back there under a screw terminal just add another short piece of wire under the screw and then connect the other end of the short wire to the new ground terminal on the new four position receptacle. The wire should be equal in size to the size of the wire that exists around the ground terminal now. If the house is so old that the range cable did not have a ground wire in it the code allows a separate green ground #10 wire to be taken from the breaker panel box to the existing range receptacle. This wire is to be bonded on each end. At the panel end to the ground buss and at the receptacle end around the ground screw at the back of the box unbroken and then to the new four position receptacle ground lug.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Which wire in a 240V cable with black white and bare copper wires connects to which prong in a 3-prong 30-amp 120-240V dryer outlet?
Do not use this type of cable to feed a 120/240V dryer outlet. The outlet is ungrounded, and the third conductor is neutral not ground. Your ground wire must be sheathed by code. You cannot use the bare neutral conductor as ground. Diagram Did Not Come Through. You Have a 3 Prong Connector. The Prong On The Bottom By Its Self Connect The Bare Wire. That Is What Was # 3 Connect The Others To The Two Prongs Next To Each Other. Hope This Makes Some Sense (1) (2) (3) Connect White To (1), Connect Black To (2) Bare (3) Good Luck
How can you tell if you have a 4 wire cable installed with a 3 prong outlet?
What you term as a four wire cable is known as a three wire cable in the electrical trade. The ground wire is not counted in the cable set as it is not a current carrying conductor. Turn the power off to the circuit in question. Remove the three prong outlet from the junction box. If you see a red, black, white and bare ground then you have a three wire cable feeding the receptacle. If this is what you see and the purpose of this question is to see if it can be changed to utilize a new four blade recepticle then the answer is yes.
