I never understood how some 240v equipment has 2 hots and a ground (such as the water heater), whereas others (such as the clothes dryer), have 2 hots, a ground, AND a neutral?! Makes no sense, because the neutral and the ground are tied together in the panel. Oh well, thanks for the vid!
Also, the neutral wire caries the current of the 120V loads. Even though the ground is electrically common to neutral, it should not be a normal current carrying conductor. The ground wire is there for fault currents only.
Great information Emily. Very good video.
😀
Great tip!
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Great video… I have few friends whom were surprised their machines didn’t come with a cord. 😂

The appliance probably has something like a timer or light bulb that requires 120v, hence the need for a neutral.

The lg dryer came e three wires colorless
thumbs up.......👍
Appreciate you, thank you!
