The fan is probably a 115 VAC single phase fan and the outlet is probably a 230 VAC "two phase" outlet.
The fan would then have the following wires: hot (black), neutral (white), and ground (green).
The outlet would then have the following wires: hot #1 (black), hot #2 (red), neutral (white), and ground (green).
Pick either of the two hot wires on the outlet and connect the hot wire of the fan to that (ignore the other hot wire on the outlet) and connect the neutral to neutral and ground to ground.
If the wire colors are not as I described above you may have something else (e.g. 3-phase) and that would be wired differently, but those systems are usually used only in industrial settings not the home.

How do you connect 3 wire to 2 wire 240volt's I'm trying to remove the washerdryer outlet and branch four 240v receptacles from the 240volt 3 wire outlet?
just leave the neutral wire as it is and connect the other two !!
How do you change a 3 wire cealing fan circuit to a 2 wire light circuit?
Sure; the fan has 3 wires so you can wire the light and fan separately, but if you don't have that option, you don't NEED to put the fan and the light on separate switches. You can always turn the light or fan on/off using the pull strings.
What do you need and how can you install a ground cable if your 240V outlet doesn't have a ground wire?
You need a 3 conductor wire with ground. For example if you had a 30 amp breaker for that outlet you would need 10awg 3w/ground. That's 10 gauge 3 conductor with ground and replace the old wire back to the panel.
How do you wire a 6-20R outlet?
A 6-20R is 220V, 15/20A correct? If the outlet is within 75ft of the panel you need to run 12-2 to the outlet from the panel. I would recommend 12-3 as you can then upgrade to a 120/240V outlet later and you are not using a white wire as a hot. If you do use 12-2 wrap the white wire with electrical tape to show it's not neutral. Then just wire the outlet as a normal 220V outlet to a 20A 220V breaker.
Why would an in line fan work on a GFCI outlet then trip the outlet and Nothing changed?
gfi is going bad or you are leaking 3 mA or more current to ground
How do you connect a 3 wire 120 outlet to a 4 wire 240 outlet?
You don't.
How do you install a ceiling fan to plug into a wall outlet and should you use two or three strand electrical cord and which strand on the cord connects to which fan wires?
The neutral wire will have writing or ribs on it and connects to the white wire. The smooth wire is hot and connects to the black wire. Use 3 strand wire in size AWG # 16. If the fan has a light it will have a blue wire. Connect that blue wire to the black wire.

I have 240V 3 wire twistlock plug and want to wire it so I have 120V outlet?
Don't!
Is there a way to check the seconday exhaust fan in a 97 Ford Taurus?
Exhaust fan??? Vehicle does not have an exhaust fan. Your vehicle has at the most 3 fans. One is the Heater/A/C fan, and it has 1 or 2 radiator cooling fans. Any of these can be checked by applying 12 volts directly to the fan.

How do you wire electric fans?
no sparking fanThe white wire from the fan to the white wire from the ceiling get wire nutted together.The black and blue wire from the fan go to the black wire from the ceiling and all 3 get wire nutted together. Lastly the green wire from the fan and the bare copper wire from the ceiling get wire nutted together. 90% of fans are wired this way.
How do you connect a 3-wire stove to a 4-wire outlet?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz power supply service. In order to plug your 3 wire stove into a 4 wire outlet, the easiest way to do so is to change the cord on the stove. This does not require cutting power to the outlet or anything like that. Anyone who is going to be changing the power cable on any device knows that you need to unplug the cord first, eliminating the need to cut power to the outlet. The difference between a 3 prong and 4 prong outlet is the ground wire. Both provide 240v power by supplying 2 120v wires (red and black). There is also a white wire, which will be your neutral wire. The green wire is your ground, and should be bolted to the body of the stove. (Most appliances have a location for attaching the ground wire). When connecting your wires, there should be 3 wire locations. You should connect one of the two hot wires (red or black), then your white wire in the middle, and then your other hot. The green will be your ground.

What might cause low voltage at one outlet on a multioutlet circuit?
its an overload on the circuit breaker the 3 outlets are on.. many times groups of outlets are on different circuit breakers.. even though they are in the same room... especially if some are on a gfi outlet
What is single phase outlet?
It is an outlet that has one hot wire, such as a household receptacle, or two hot wires, such as a dryer outlet (in the US). If the outlet has three hot wires, it would be called a 3-phase or polyphase outlet. These would normally be found only in an industrial setting.
