On a 240 volt outlet, such as a dryer outlet: G is Ground, W is Neutral, X and Y are the two Hot legs.
your house has 220 you must use a 2 pole breaker. your wiring will change ,not a do it your selfer call someone
Yes but I would not advise it. Get 110 volts somewhere else.
Most 220 volt equipment will work on 208 volt supply. If the machine has a resistive load then the watts output will be lower than if supplied from a 220 volt source. If it is a motor load you will find that the equipment may run a bit slower but most motors will take the lower voltage. If the machine is a plug in device, install the appropriate receptacle to match the pin configuration and plug it in. If it is a hard wire installation this should be done by a qualified person.
Answer for UK and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.The voltage potential of 380 volts is not common to North America.It will probably be difficult to tap into the plug to get the voltage.If you have a three phase 380 volt supply from a source then you can obtain a single phase voltage of 220 volts from it. 220/380 is a wye voltage connection. 380 divided by 1.73 will give you 220 volts. L1 - N = 220V, L2 - N =220V, L3 - N = 220V. L1 - L2 = 380, L2 - L3=380, L3 - L1 = 380.
Sounds like it is a 220-240 Volt hot water heater. The black and red are connected to the 220 volts supply and the white is connected to Neutral. At the breaker panel red and black connect to the 2-pole 220 volt breaker and white goes to the neutral bus bar.
My question is WHY did you replace a four prong dryer plug with a three prong! 220 volt Electric dryers require two hot legs, a neutral and a system ground wire. Sounds as though you shunted one of the hots or the neutral. You need to install a four prong plug of the same configuration and wire it exactly as the original.
If you are in north America, black and red go to the main prongs and white to the ground (round prong) . Black and red can be on either main prong.
220 volt electricity 3 prong plug.
It may be a 220 Dryer, and you will need a new outlet installed. There should be no extra wires when connecting the Power cord to the plug
South Africa uses 220-240V/50H 3-prong plugs that look like this: http://www.jjeac.com/UploadFiles/JJA-14%20South%20Africa%20plug.jpg
There are many different types of 220 Volt plug. Different plugs are used in different countries.Two pin plugs have two wires, live (brown) and neutral (blue).Three pin plugs have the two wires above, plus Earth (green/yellow).Rewireable plugs are labelled which wire goes where. The wiring colours are an international standard, unlike plugs.

A 220 volt power cord has 2 positive terminals. The will look the same. The one that is different will be the ground.

Not advisible.
I wouldn't advise it. Your pressure washer has a four conductor plug for a reason. It requires its two hot conductors providing 220 volts, a neutral which is likely being employed in a small circuit board or safety switch and an earth ground which is needed to provide path to ground for stray current and short circuit protection. Don't reinvent the wheel.
