The new cooktop has a 4 wire connection. Red & Black are hot. White is neutral, and green is ground. You existing panel is wired with 3 wires. Black & Red are hot and green is ground. There is no neutral wire. Connect the black to black, red to red, and then connect the white and ground together at the plug.
The receptacle that you are looking at might be a 240 volt receptacle and that is the reason, there is no neutral needed. You should be able to tell by the configuration of the blade pattern if it is rated for 240 volt operation.
Absolutely not!! 277 volts is developed from a 480 volt power supply employing 1 conductor and a neutral. 240 volt power comprises two hot conductors and NO neutral.
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.240 volt two wire circuits loads do not need a neutral to operate. A three wire 240 volt circuit that needs a neutral, will have a neutral the same size as the current carrying conductors. In this case a #10.
Yes, if the motor is rated 240 volts 3 phase.There is such a thing as 240 volt 3 phase power.However if you are asking if you can use 240 volts single phase on a three phase motor, then the answer is no.

Yes <<>> In North America, a three wire 120/240 volt system uses a neutral wire. For 240 volts two "hot" wires are used with no neutral.
Just cap the white wire off and fold it up in the back of the box, out of the way.
On a 120/240 volt distribution the neutral is sized along with the supply conductors. The sizing is based on the amperage of the service distribution.
Unless the switch has a pilot light on it there is need for a neutral connection to the switch.
Does it have a big heavy wire, like your electric dryer, or a little light wire like your refrigerator. All electric cooktops that I know of are 240V. I have never seen one that is 120V.
In residential wiring the white wire is neutral on the 120 volt circuits. On a 3way circuit the red is the traveler and the white is neutral. On a 240 volt 3 wire connection the white & black are hot. On a 240 volt 4 wire connection the black and red are hot and the white is neutral.

The temperature on this cooktop goes from 120 to 420 degrees.
It is a little difficult to install the GE JP202DWW two-burner Cooktop in place of an existing four-burner cooktop.
