Is there an adapter for a NEMA 14-30 plug and a NEMA 10-30 receptacle?
A NEMA 14-30 is a 3 pole 4 wire grounding receptacle rated at 30 amps 125/250 volts. A NEMA 10-30 is a 3 pole, 3 wire non grounding receptacle rated at 30 amps 125/250 volt.As the NEMA 10 device has no ground terminal on it, it is not a standard receptacle device so no adapter is made for it.
What wire do you need for a 30 amp clothes dyer?
You need a 40 amp breaker for a range. From a 40 amp breaker, standard ranges have a three conductor #8 copper wire installed, terminating in a three pole four wire grounding receptacle. NEMA number 14-50R.
Can you wire an electric kiln into an electric stove outlet with a NEMA 14-50R recepticle and a 40A breaker?
Yes. Since you want your breaker to be less than the maximum rating of the receptacle this would be fine.
Where do I put the red black white and copper wires on a 50 amp three prong recepticle?
The 50 amp receptical will not be a three prong receptacle it will be a 3-pole 4-wire grounding receptacle. It will be a 125/250 volt rating NEMA number 14–50R. The red and black wires connect to the X and Y terminals, the white wire to the W terminal and the ground wire to the G terminal.
Can you get 220 volts off of a single pole breaker?
Yes. Just connect the black wire to one of the poles and the white wire to the white bus bar. Make sure the wire you use is sized for the ampere rating of the breaker. 15 A = 14 AWG, 20 A = 12 AWG and 30 A = 10 AWG.

How do you wire a pump start relay for 220 volts?
Assuming that your pump start relay is a contactor with overload protection and a 220 volt coil. Connect the incoming 220V to the connection points on the top of the contactor. Connect the pump motor to the bottom contactor connection points. From the right incoming voltage connection point take a # 14 wire, in flexable conduit, to one of the N.C. (normally closed) terminals in the pressure switch. The pressure switch which should be connected into the water line at this time on the pressure side of the pump. From the opposite N.C. terminal in the pressure switch take another # 14 wire, in the same flexable conduit, to one side of 220V contactor coil. At this point, (1) if overload contacts are available, take a # 14 wire from the other side of the 220V contactor coil to one side of the N.C. contacts in the overload block. From the opposite side of the N.C. contact in the overload block take a # 14 wire up to the left side of the incoming 220V connection point. If there is no overload block, as some motors have internal overload protection, (2) take a # 14 wire from the other side of the 220V contactor coil directly to the left side of the incoming 220V connection point. As you can see the circuit is all series connections from voltage supply to pressure switch, to overloads, to return voltage supply. With the pressure switch contacts closed and the overload contacts NOT tripped the pump will start. When pressure reaches the set point the switch will open and the pump will shut off.
What size wire do you need for a 208 volt 3 phase load that draws 10.5 amps?
The size of conductor needed will be a #14. It should be copper and have an insulation factor of 90 degrees C. The fact that it is a three phase load does not enter into the calculation of the wire size.
Where do I put the red black white and copper wires on a 50 amp three prong recepticle?
The 50 amp receptical will not be a three prong receptacle it will be a 3-pole 4-wire grounding receptacle. It will be a 125/250 volt rating NEMA number 14–50R. The red and black wires connect to the X and Y terminals, the white wire to the W terminal and the ground wire to the G terminal.
Can you use the ground conductor in a 14 AWG 2 conductor with a ground for the neutral in a 220V 15 amp circuit with less than 50ft run?
yes <<>> No, the ground wire is never to be used as a neutral. In this case if you need a 120 volt circuit from the 220 volt circuit a three wire cable (3C #14) must be installed.
Can you get 220 volts off of a single pole breaker?
Yes. Just connect the black wire to one of the poles and the white wire to the white bus bar. Make sure the wire you use is sized for the ampere rating of the breaker. 15 A = 14 AWG, 20 A = 12 AWG and 30 A = 10 AWG.
What is wire standard 60hz 220v ac cable?
many wires are. such as 14-2 Romex. 12-2 Romex. Any THHN wire of any size. This list is very long. If you have a speific application then you need to check the NEC 2005 Table 310.13 Conductor Applications and Insulations.
Is there an adapter for a NEMA 14-30 male plug to a NEMA 10-30 female receptacle?
No there is no adapter. Change your old dryer receptacle NEMA 10-30 to a new NEMA 14-30. This will allow you to plug the new dryer cord into the old wiring.Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.Range receptacle three to fourLook in the back of the dryer 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 (G) 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 dryer 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 (G).Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliancesalways use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
Can you turn a 14-2 wire into a 14-3?
The only way to change a 14-2 wire into a 14-3 wire is to physically remove the 14-2 and replace it with a 14-3.
Can a nema 6-30r be changed over to a nema 6-15r?
Yes it can. The 6-30 will be fed with a #10 wire whereas the 6-15 only needs a #14 conductor. You will also have to change the cap (plug) end also as the polarity of the two receptacles is different. This difference in cap polarity is so that a 6-15 can not be inserted into a 6-30 receptacle. The tandem blade configuration on the 6-30 are closer together than the tandem blades on the 6-15 receptacle.
