What is the difference between a 4 prong dryer outlet and a 4 prong stove outlet?
The 4 prong stove outlet has 3 straight blades and a ground, and is rated for 50 amps. A dryer outlet has 2 straight blades for the hot conductors, and an L shaped blade for the neutral conductor, and a ground. The dryer outlet is only rated for 30 amps. A dryer male plug will not fit into a stove outlet, nor will a stove male plug with a dryer outlet. Note that although the stove plug is rated for 50 amps, the stove circuit is typically protected (fused) at 40 amps.

How do you change a 4 plug dryer outlet to a 3 plug welder outlet?
First you need to know that an electric dryer is almost always a 30 amp 220 Volt power supply. Most small welders require a 50 amp 220 volt power supply. Check your welder's power requirement. If it requires 50 amps, it'll never work correctly on 30 amp.The plug conversion is simple. The wire your dryer is powered by will have two "hot" legs, the red and black wires. These supply the 220 volt. Then it has a ground (bare copper or green conductor. And last it has a white wire, the neutral.Your 3 prong plug on your welder only requires the two "hot" legs and the ground wire. You shunt the neutral white wire with a wire nut.
