(US NEC) This is probably an outlet for a clothes dryer. Hot one (black) to one side. Hot two (red) to the other side. Neutral (white) to the center. Ground (green) to the box. However, this will NOT work in a mobile home. There, you MUST use a four wire outlet and pigtail and carry all four wires all the way back to the distribution panel, and neutral/ground must NOTbe connected at the dryer.

Can you safely change a 30 amp breaker to 20 amps?
No, this is not a recommended procedure. The breakers main job is to protect the wire that is connected to it. A 20A breaker will have a #12 wire (rated 20A) connected to it. A 30A breaker will have a #10 wire (rated 30A) connected to it. As you can see if you use a 30A breaker on a #12 wire you could overload the wire by 10 amps. I have seen an incident where the insulation has melted off of an overloaded wire, the wire short out and a fire start before the bigger size breaker tripped. DON'T DO IT.
What breaker do you use for 10-2 wire?
For 10-2 wire, you would typically use a 30-amp breaker. This size breaker is commonly used for 10-gauge wire in residential electrical installations. Make sure to check your local electrical codes and the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific application.
How many watts can run through 10-2 wire?
The 10-2 wire is typically rated for a maximum of 30 amps. To calculate the wattage that can run through this wire, you can use the formula: Watts = Volts × Amps. For a standard 120-volt circuit, this equates to 3,600 watts (120V × 30A). In a 240-volt circuit, it would be 7,200 watts (240V × 30A).
White wire a black wire a red wire and a bare wire?
The white wire is typically neutral, the black wire is usually hot or live, the red wire may be a secondary live wire or used for a separate function, and the bare wire is typically the ground wire for safety purposes in an electrical circuit.

How do you disconnect power wire to antenna?
To disconnect the power wire to an antenna, first ensure that the power source is turned off to prevent any electrical hazards. Locate the power wire connected to the antenna and identify the connection points. Carefully disconnect the wire by either unscrewing it from the terminal or unplugging it, depending on the type of connection. Finally, secure the disconnected wire to prevent accidental contact with live components.
