Need give support to next to electrical plug for wash piece of equipment!?
Answers: I am guessing that you are talking around a stack washer dryer unit.
If so you may transform your pigtail to a 3-prong,for a existing 3-prong circuit
However the neutral and ground must be bonded to respectively other on your unit , it be cut to go to a 4-prong pigtail.
This is NEC National Electrical Code for existing 240 volt dryer receptacle circuits with out a separate ground present.
All topical electrical wiring must be to current code,a 4 line 30 amp 240 volt for dryer or stack unit 5000 watts or smaller quantity.
NOTE TO JOHN HIMSELF:
yes the code changed,but there is no dryer Police knock down doors to force people to update existing 3-prong dryer receptacle
( I see john himself, has removed his answer. Thanks john but you can buy modern books to explain code changes to you.that you may-be competent to understand)
I hope that this helps
Cut past its sell-by date the " foreign " plug and buy a suitable local plug, don't bother with adaptors, washimg machines consume a colossal amount of current , and an adaptor would burn-out if you somehow managed to catch one.
Don't cut anything, head to the local hardware store. You should find what you stipulation. Check the lighting section. This should be a temp fix, find an electrician and draw from it fix the right way.
help yourself to a picture of your outlet, and take it to a hardware store. buy the equivalent plug. disassemble your old plug. the foreign plug should have electrical system schematics.
ok there are give or take a few 4 different type of 220 outlets.
you need to narrate the person at Lowe's, i call for a washing tool , outlet. 220 watts, three prong,
as far as adapter , they don't make them ,
the out tolerate cost about $10.00 at Lowe's
All other answers are bs.You hold a 220volt plug on your washer,you need to any get another washer that runs on 120volts,or enjoy an electrician rewire your outlet to get 220volts.Changing the plug will do you no appropriate whatsoever,it just won't work.4prongs are two are hot one is independent and the other is ground.3prong plug is 1 hot 1 neutral,and the other is ground.
The plug you describe is for a dryer. Unless your contraption is foreign or weird it should own a standard AC cord (but heavy duty). Before replacing the cord check to see that the apparatus is a "normal" one.
