How do you plug in nema 6-20 into a North American 3 prong outlet?
The 6-20 is a designation for a 20 amp circuit. Most homes have receptacles rated for 15 amps. The cord is designed so that you cannot plug it into a 3 prong 15 amp outlet for safety purposes. The wire, fuse or circuit breaker as well as the receptacle must be properly rated so you don't burn your house down. Proper inspection and possible rewiring to the power panel is needed to operate it safely.
