No. You will no longer be getting the correct voltage to the appliance. It should be replaced before using again.
If the third prong on your plug breaks off, you should stop using the plug immediately and replace it with a new one to ensure safety and proper functioning of your electrical devices.
NO IT CAN NOT BE REPLACED THERE IS INTERNAL ELECTONIC DIFFERENCES.
For most standard two-prong plugs, there is no difference in which prong goes into which outlet. The prongs are typically the same size and shape, so it does not matter which way you plug it in. However, if the plug is polarized (one prong is wider than the other), make sure to plug it in the correct way according to the outlet.
The main difference between a 4 prong and a 3 prong dryer plug is the presence of a ground wire in the 4 prong plug, which provides better safety by grounding the appliance. The 4 prong plug is more suitable for modern electrical systems as it meets current safety standards and reduces the risk of electrical hazards.
A polarized plug can only fit together in one direction. This is to prevent reverse polarity in the device you are plugging in.
Sure i do
No, the power plug in Japan is different from the one in the US. Japan uses a two-prong plug with a voltage of 100 volts, while the US uses a three-prong plug with a voltage of 120 volts.
The main difference between a 3 prong and a 4 prong dryer plug is the grounding wire. A 4 prong plug includes a dedicated grounding wire, providing better safety and reducing the risk of electrical shock. Modern electrical systems are designed to accommodate 4 prong dryer plugs, making them more suitable for use in today's homes.
No, the power plug used in Japan is different from the one used in the United States. Japan typically uses a two-prong plug with a voltage of 100 volts, while the United States uses a three-prong plug with a voltage of 120 volts.
I don't know about an extension cord, but they do sell plug adabters. You can pick them up at any hardware store or even Wal-Mart. They are ussaully grey or orange , and look like the plug end of the extension cord. One end will have the 2 prong, the other side will have the slots to plug in the three prong.
It could be a loudspeaker polarised plug.
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.
