Wiring from electric motor
It is physically possible, but I don't know if code would allow it. Please check with your Building Inspection Department for local electrical code.
If I'm not mistaken, a modern code 4-wire dryer plug has two hots, a neutral and a ground wire, but a motor in the 220 mode has only two hots and a ground. (I'm not a pro electrician, just a long-time DIYer.) Good Luck! Mike |
