there is no 220V service in my garage - thats about to change.
i picked up a 250V 30A outlet (3 slots arranged in a circle w/ one looking like a "L") which matches the plug on the welder. i have a 30A breaker that takes up two slots in the breaker panel for the house (located in the garage!) i have some new 10 gauge 3 conductor wire (black, white, and green conductors). snap the breaker in place - make sure its switched off. install a black and white conductor in one of the two set screw slots in the 30A breaker. connect the other ends of the black/white to the outlet and the ground to the ground on the back of the outlet and inside the breaker panel (metal box). to be honest here, the only thing i know about A/C electricity is it can kill you. other than that, i don't know jack. i can replace a bad outlet/socket/switch, but i couldnt wire any 110v circuit from the box to the wall if i had to. so does the above sound right? i know there should normally be a red wire to use in place of the white, but i've read thats really only required for 4 prong plug/outlets. looking for the FRAXX guidance here oh wise one's.
