If your heater only needs 2 hots and a ground you can eliminate the neutral (white wire). Some 220v appliances like a stove, need both a 220v circuit for heat and a 110v circuit for clock, etc. In those situations you need the white so that you can get 110v by using a hot lead and the neutral lead.
Does that help? |
