Can I split (1) 220 line with a 30 AMP breaker into (2) 110 15 AMP ...
WEBSep 26, 2019 — 220 vs. 110. Or more typically, 240 vs. 120, but it is really all the same, so don't worry about that. 220 can mean one of two somewhat different things: hot/hot - i.e., only 220. If you have only 2 wires (plus ground) coming from the breaker to the destination, you can't get 110V from it, or at least not without additional hardware such as a ...

WEBMar 17, 2022 — Getting from "universal donor" NEMA 14-30 to 240V-only. The NEMA 14 series is the universal socket, because it provides neutral in case it is needed. What do you do if it isn't? Really simple: you use a 3-wire cord that has a NEMA 14 male plug, and you don't hook neutral to any wire. The other end could be any of the following:
Rewiring a 4-Wire Generator Wire To 3-Prong Generator Plug
WEBJul 19, 2021 — 1. Please edit the question to provide the make and model of your generator, a picture of your home generator inlet and a picture and/or description of how it is connected to your house panel. Otherwise we're doing a lot of guessing. The fourth wire is probably not an extra ground, it's probably an extra power phase that supplies half the ...

WEBExperiment with laying the reed switch crossing at 90 degrees, or parallel to the wire. All of this must happen inside the steel box. On a dryer, 80% of current flow will be on the two "hots". The neutral can be kept out of it. Also feel free to calibrate it so the dryer doesn't trip on "fluff/no-heat".
Why would there be a 50 amp plug on a 30 amp appliance?
WEB30 amps is where a 30 amp breaker should cut off, and to avoid that, you should only use 80% of the breaker's capacity. So for a 30 amp breaker, you shouldn't be using more than 24 amps. Using a 50 amp breaker and a dedicated outlet ensures that you don't exceed the capacity of the circuit with that appliance.

WEBThe receptacles do have to be marked For Welder Use Only. So, I guess you could use 10 ga wire with a 60 amp breaker if it was only used for a welder with 50% or less duty cycle. That said, I use 6 ga wire with a 50 amp breaker and either a NEMA 6-50 or 14-50 receptacle for all of my single phase small to medium size welders and plasma cutters.
