A 6-30 plug/receptacle does not use a neutral. It has 2 hots and a gnd, all sized to #10 gauge wire and tied in to a two pole 30a breaker.
US dryers commonly use a 3-prong or 4-prong plug. The 3-prong plug has two flat blades (hot) and a L-shaped prong (neutral), while the 4-prong plug has two flat blades (hot), a round prong (neutral), and a half-round prong (ground). It's important to match the plug with the corresponding outlet for safety and proper functionality.
No, the wide prong is neutral it is the white wire. The narrow prong is hot it is the black wire. The round prong (in a 3 wire plug) is safety ground it is the green wire.
A polarized plug can only fit together in one direction. This is to prevent reverse polarity in the device you are plugging in.
The designations of a three-prong plug are typically "hot," "neutral," and "ground." The hot wire carries the electrical current, the neutral wire completes the circuit, and the ground wire provides a path to the ground in case of a fault to prevent electric shock.
The AC wide prong is the neutral. An AC voltmeter measuring from narrow prong to ground should show line voltage; measurement from wide prong to ground should show zero. In a two-conductor power cord (and some three-conductor cords), the ridged side should be the neutral. In any light-bulb socket, the outer ridge should be wired to neutral.
This is a 2 prong polarized female. However a 2 prong unpolarized male will easily plug into a 2 prong polarized female. just not the other way around.

The purpose of using a 4 prong to 3 prong adapter is to allow a 4 prong plug to be connected to a 3 prong outlet. The adapter works by connecting the grounding wire from the 4 prong plug to the neutral wire in the 3 prong outlet, ensuring that the electrical connection is safe and functional.
The AC wide prong is the neutral. An AC voltmeter measuring from narrow prong to ground should show line voltage; measurement from wide prong to ground should show zero.

Sure i do
The green wire is for ground. You can attach that to any metal part of the frame. The red is the active and coincides with the lefthand prong into the plug and the black in this case should be the Neutral and ciocides with the right prong into the plug as seen standing behind the plug.
This is something that should not be done. If this was to be done you would be omitting the ground which in point can make it unsafe. I recommend changing the female end of the system and making it a 4 prong.
The difference is safety. Any appliance or equipment that has metal parts that may be touched by the user will usually have 3 prongs because this provides for safety if those metal parts become energized. Exceptions would be "double insulated" items, such as many power tools, and items without exposed metal parts.
No you can not you will need to replace the plug with a 4 prong the same as the style of your oven and change your breaker to the correct Amp for your style of 4 prong plug
