Change the cord/plug on the stove to a four wire cord/plug. When installing the new plug remove the grounding strip that connects the center lug in the stove wiring block to the frame of the stove. Connect the white wire from the new plug to the center lug. Connect the green wire from the plug to the stove frame.
What else can I help you with?
Can you wire a 240 volt window ac from a 277 volt feed?
no
Is a 220 volt electrical power wire the same as a 240 volt electrical power wire?
Yes 220 & 240 are considered the same.
Does 240 volt have a neutral wire?
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.
What wire size should be used for a 30 amp 240 volt circuit?
For a 30 amp 240 volt circuit, a wire size of 10 AWG should be used.
What is the appropriate wire size for a 240 volt 40 amp circuit?
For a 240 volt 40 amp circuit, the appropriate wire size is typically 8 AWG (American Wire Gauge) for copper conductors.
Can you use awg12 wire for your 220 stove?
No. I wouldn't try it. Check on the number of amps that the stove uses. Then you can calculate what size wire you will need. The amp rating on a #12 wire is 20 amps. A 240 volt stove needs a minimum of 40 amps. This supply is brought to the stove on a #8 wire rated at 45 amps R90 insulation. This supply wire is protected by a two pole 40 circuit breaker situated in your electrical panel. If you use a #12 wire and apply the total stove load, the insulation will melt off the wire and short out.
Will splicing a 3 wire 240 volt compressor with a 4 wire 240 volt male end damage compressor motor?
It could if you don't get the terminals and motor wires on the correct terminals.
Can you wire up a 240 volt single phase water heater to 277 volt single phase?
no
Can you use 600 volt wire for 240 volt appliance?
It depends on the voltage, but if you are using it on a 240 v system, it's quite OK to use wire that can take 600 v (if you had to buy the wire, you would be spending too much).
What is the recommended length and type of electric stove power cord to use for optimal safety and performance?
For optimal safety and performance, it is recommended to use a 4-foot long, 3-wire power cord with a 240-volt rating for an electric stove.
What wire size should be used for a 40 amp 240 volt circuit?
For a 40 amp 240 volt circuit, a wire size of at least 8 AWG (American Wire Gauge) should be used to ensure safety and proper functioning of the circuit.
How do you wire a 120 volt gfci into a 240 volt three wire?
You can't. The 120 volt GFCI is probably just a 2-wire (hot, neutral and ground) You would have to run a new 3-wire (2 hots, neutral and ground). The two hots are how you get the 240 volts (120+120=240). Also you must make sure the wire is gauged properly. #10 wire for 30 amps, #12 wire for 20 amps, etc.
