[QUOTE="4x4dually, post: 1272625, member: 4100"] 3-Wire 240 VAC stuff won't show any problems. This is because they use both lines and have a safety ground. Neutral isn't in the picture. If you have a newer electric dryer, where they have started using 4-wire plugs, then yes, it will show signs most likely. It most likely uses the 240 VAC to power the heating coils and motor but the controls of the dryer are most likely 120 VAC and are using one line and the neutral. You can hook up the 4-wire dryers to a 3-wire plug but you will be returning the amount of the current difference between line a and line b down an un-insulated wire. Not a great idea. Thus, the code changed. CODE! I hate that book to no end. They can't write anything that a normal human can understand. Nice. Enjoy that. It's always a pleasure to deal with knob-n-tube and plaster and lathe walls. :bang: [/QUOTE]
