Why doesn't my 240 volt wall heater have a common or a ground wire?
Your 240-volt wall heater typically doesn’t have a common or ground wire because it operates on a two-wire system, using two hot wires for the 240-volt supply. In this configuration, there is no need for a neutral wire (common) since the heater is designed to use both hot wires to function. Additionally, many 240-volt appliances are double-insulated, which reduces the need for a grounding wire. However, if local codes require grounding, you may need to ensure that the installation complies with safety standards.
