How do you rewire a 220 volt receptacle to produce 110 volts?
A 220 volt receptacle is a receptacle which has 2 wires carrying 110 volts...it has two "hot" wires at 110 and a neutral or common leg which has no voltage. A 110 volt receptacle is a receptacle which has 1 wire which carries 110 volts and a common wire. The wiring in the USA is almost standardized now to where the two "hot" (carrying 110 volts) wires are colored black and red, and the common or neutral is white. To change a receptacle to 110 volts..you remove the red or black wire from the old receptacle and wire nut it off...leaving the other red or black to attach to the new receptacle (right side of receptacle usually, looking at it from the grounding hole on the receptacle ON THE BOTTOM). You then connect the white wire to the left side of the receptacle. This will provide only 110 volts now. If the wires are not black, red, and white..they may be black, black, and white. In most cases, the white wire is always the neutral or common wire. When in doubt, buy a voltmeter and check each wire to the metal box in the wall...the wires carrying the 110 volts will usually read 110 on the voltmeter (or 115, 118..etc). Good luck!
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 install a 277 volt receptacle in place of a 240 volt receptacle?
No. To prevent this sort of thing from happening, the 277 volt device and receptacle is physically larger that a 240 volt receptacle and will not fit in a regular receptacle junction box. For a 277 volt system the proper size junction boxes have to be purchased.

There are three major causes of hot screws on a receptacle. 1.. Overcurrent: Receptacles are usually rated at 15 amps, occasionally 20 amps. If the circuit breaker feeding it is too large or faulty, the receptacle could overheat due to the loads it is feeding. 2.. Loose screws at the receptacle. This condition leads to arcing at the receptacle and evetually, fire. 3.. Copper contamination. Carbonization or crystalization can occur on the conductors at the screw terminal. This can usually be cleaned up with emery cloth.
