Hello I was hoping someone could help me with a few questions
#1 I recently purchased an air conditioner that says it is 230 volt. The problem is the plug on the ac is a 3 prong plug but the two top prongs are paralellel to the floor and not horizontal like normal plugs. I have gone to home depot and lowes and looked everywhere online to find an outlet receptacle that looks like this but I can't find one. Does anyone know where to purchase one online? I'm only finding the huge ones like for a washing machine or something.
#2 My landlord replaced my receptacle in my apartment that was 230 volt with a 125 volt recptacle. Everything I have plugged into this has blown out. Did he create a fire hazard? Whats going on? Can you only repace a 230 with like a 220 and he went down too far in voltage?
Thank you
