Can a 220-4 wire cord be reduced to 3 wire?

When flexible cords are talked about the ground wire is in the conductor count. A four wire cord will have black, red, white, and green coloured wires in the flexible cable set. A three wire cord will have a black, white and green coloured wires in the cable set. To use a four wire cord to carry 220 volts just use the black, red and green wires. Connect to the cord ends. Black and red to the outside blade terminal screws and the green wire to the green ground screw. To use a three wire cord to carry 220 volts just use all of the wires. Black and white to the outside blade terminal screws and the green wire to the green ground screw.

How do you modify a 3-phase electric range for a 4-phase outlet?

First off, it is not a 3-phase range. It is a single phase 110/220V range with a cord lacking a ground pin. Also, it is not a 4 phase outlet. It is a modern 110/220V outlet with a ground pin. To upgrade your range, go th the hardware store and buy a new 4-prong 50A 110/220V cord with a ground. Remove the old cord, and wire in the new cord. If the old cord was flat without a color code, the two outside wires are the hots (red and black on the new cord) and the center wire is neutral (white on the new cord). If the neurtal lug is bonded to the chassis, break the bond. The green wire in the new cord grounds the chassis. Connect the green wire to a convient screw in the chassis, if a dedicated green ground screw is not provided.
