Hello,
I want to wire up a receptacle for my shiny new compressor,
which requires a 230V 30-amp circuit. While browsing
HD's electrical section, I see a plethora of plugs and receptacles
that could be used.
I saw:
The traditional 3-wire 30A dryer plug
The newer 4-wire dryer plug
One or two plugs that looked like regular 120V plugs on steroids
A couple of twist-to-lock plugs
Any advice which is best? (This is for straight 230V service, not 120/240V
service.)
Also, If I ever get a 230V corded tool, like a welder, which plug is it most
likely to have?
Thanks,
Doug Braun
