How do you hook up a 220 volt outlet
Contents:
Pull the cable through the hole in the wall and into the rear of the old-work box. Remove the side plate from the box, then secure the cable to the box by tightening the cable clamp with a screwdriver. Wrap the green grounding wire from the cable around the green grounding screw inside the old-work box. Tighten the grounding screw, then reattach the side plate to the box. Push the old-work box into the hole and flat against the wall. Secure the box by driving two screws through each of its two mounting flanges.
Strip the insulation from the ends of the wires inside the box, then make the wire connections to the new amp, volt receptacle. Connect the green wire to the green screw, the black wire to the brass screw, and the white wire to the silver screw. Gently fold and push the wires into the box. Secure the receptacle to the box with two screws.
Then put on the cover plate. Remove the knockout plug from the top of the electrical sub-panel. Attach an MC cable connector to the knockout hole. Slide an anti-short bushing over the metal sheathing on the cable. Feed the MC cable through the connector, then tighten the connector to secure the cable. Connect the wires to the circuit breaker and the grounding bar inside the sub-panel. Snap a new two-pole, amp, volt circuit breaker into the panel. Make the final wire connections to the new volt breaker.

Oh and the hint of wrapping the outlit, thanks. I am replacing several outlits in my home, I usually turn the power off before I remove one, but I like this hint. Thanks again so how do I find a reasonable , good electrician in Riverside County, California? However I thought it was a neutral wire not a natural wire. At least you did not say brass to save your axe. Dominick thanks for the video. I always wanted to know how to do that. Also I learned how to clean my oil burner. Good health to you.

How many feet do outlets have to be from each other? But I have a oven on the wall that has the only space were I can put the washer and dryer. Can I run 2 s side by side say within 5 ft..? And should I separate the two with the washer? You ran two hots and a ground. I have a problem. We get Volts into the place and then have a number of transformers to change the voltage to what it needs to be. So I measure voltage at the end of the plug at the range and Now I read like Volts from L1 to ground, and 13 volts from L2 to ground?!?!?!
Why would this be? I would think that I should still be reading or so volts from L1 to ground and L2 to ground like before. The Range is off.
Is this some type of wiring issue?!?! Is the new Range screwed up? That seems unlikely, but I guess you never know. I ran around feet of wire though new conduit that I had to run for this project. One way to find out, LOL.. Thanks for the prompt reply. In Japan the electrical grid is set to V. There are 2 frequencies 60 Hz in the West and 50Hz in the East.
I wonder if there is a long term problem if I plug the Japanese appliances into a V outlet…. Hi how are you. Yes you can have volt outlets in your house. Did you mean ? I need help with some electrical questions.

All hot tubs needs volts. Follow my video on how to install volts but with the right amperage.
Installing a new outlet isn't much different from a volt outlet. However, you can only put one outlet per breaker/circuit. And you will install two hot. It's not necessary to rewire the connection and install a new outlet, but The wires for a volt outlet are too stiff to allow you to simply stuff.
