Which wire goes where on 220v socket?

If there are three attachment points then you have a ground and two hots. The ground goes to the green screw and the hot wires can be connected to either hot screw. If there are four wires then the hots will likely be red and black. The white wire is the common or neutral and the green or bare wire is ground.


Can a 220-4 wire cord be reduced to 3 wire?

When flexible cords are talked about the ground wire is in the conductor count. A four wire cord will have black, red, white, and green coloured wires in the flexible cable set. A three wire cord will have a black, white and green coloured wires in the cable set. To use a four wire cord to carry 220 volts just use the black, red and green wires. Connect to the cord ends. Black and red to the outside blade terminal screws and the green wire to the green ground screw. To use a three wire cord to carry 220 volts just use all of the wires. Black and white to the outside blade terminal screws and the green wire to the green ground screw.


Why is a cracked plug socket can cause a potential fire hazard?

The cracked plug can cause the wires to spark and cause a fire. When the wires are plugged into it where the crack is the wires can touch the socket and cause the fire.
