      Yes you can. Use the white as a hot wire, use the black as a hot wire, and use your ground as your neutral wire. So put the black under one of the hot screws, put the white under the other hot screw and put the ground where the neutral would go.

  • @stevemann6576
    @stevemann6576 2 місяці тому

    What I *don't* get is why the single pin of the receptacle goes in the lowest position when the plug on the power cable will have it at the apex of the triangle opposite where the cord is attached, making the plug need to be inserted "upside down". Also, with the two pins at the top, any cross-pin contact while pulling or inserting the plug is a 220 v experience, when it would be half that if the neutral was at the top. It makes no sense to me. Just installed one of these and came looking to double check I had it "right".

    • @rickyjewett6082
      @rickyjewett6082 3 місяці тому

      Not necessarily. You can have 2 wires or 3 wires. It depends on the equipment you are disconnecting. If the equipment is rated for 240volts you will have 2 wires.
