In the second pic (of the plug) it looks like the white & Ground are connected together. That is incorrect (at the plug end).
White and Ground ARE the same but only AT the breaker panel. They can never be connected together anywhere else. For a three prong 220V plug, the only wires required are: Phase1(hot-blk), Phase2(hot-red), GND (green). No neutral wire is used in a 3 prong. If the circuit needs to be hardwired at the panel, then you will need two open breaker slots, one on each phase. One of these will hook to red, and snap into the panel Another of these will hook to black, and snap into the panel The Ground will hook to the Ground bus bar in the panel. |
