There are shops that can make custom adapters for this. For example, evseadapters.com Or can also make your own adapter, if you know what type of outlet and plug you are working with, and which wires to connect to which terminals. Obviously one of the slots on the female connector will remain unused, most likely the neutral slot. The two hot connections and the ground connection would be used.

How do you wire a 220v three prong to a 220v four prong?

You'll need to contact an electrician who will pull a new wire for you. If you only have 2 wires on the 240 line, you don't have a neutral or a ground; both of which are essential for a modern electric range.


Are there 3 prong to 4 prong adapters for driers?

No, and adapters are not needed. What needs to be done in remove the old three blade dryer plug and install a new four blade cord on the dryer.Dryer plug three to fourInstructions should come with the new cord. Open up the electrical access panel on the back of the dryer. You will see a terminal block with three wires going into it from the plug cord assembly. A red and black and white are now connected to the terminal strip. Look at the position and colours of the existing 3 prong cord and how it is connected. Make a diagram. Coloured wires on the outside terminals white in the center. From the center wire terminal you will see a jumper strap that goes to the frame of the dryer. When installing the four prong plug this jumper is removed completely. The kit should have with it a grounding lug that connects to where the removed grounding strip attached to the frame of the dryer. This is the attachment point for the fourth green ground wire from the new dryer cord assembly.


How do you write millivolts?

Write one volt equals 1,000 millivolts at the top of your paper. This is the standard conversion of volts to millivolts. Write down the number of volts you need to convert in decimal form. For example, if you have four volts, write 4.0. Move the decimal point over three times to the right to convert your amount of volts to millivolts. For example if you have 4.0 volts, you would have 4000 millivolts.

What is wrong if you changed a four prong to a three prong and the dryer is not heating?

Can you plug a three-prong dryer into a four-prong outlet or is there an adapter you should use?

You should install a four prong. The older ones were three prong and had no ground. An adaptor isn't made because it wouldn't fix the problem. You could make your own adaptor and cut the ground off with a pair of dykes, but don't.
