A:  Hi Thank you for choosing Leviton. The terminal Accommodate 14-6 AWG wire.

A:  Not sure. 10 gauge fits nice.

A:  Designed for up to 6 AWG. You might be able to get heavier gauge in there but stiffness is likely to make it unmanageable.

A:  You can squeeze #6 into it

A:  This plug will handle 30 amps of 125 volt or 50 amps of 250 volt current. That is why it is listed as 30/50 amp. Will work for either specification.

A:  Hello: This is a 250 volt plug. 125 VAC goes to each angle blade the ground is the U shaped blade. In a 250 volt configuration depending on the cable you are using, if it has a black, red, & white. The black & red are the 125VAC & the white is the ground. If the cable you are using is black, white & green wires then the black & white are the 125 VAC & the green is tyhe ground.

A:  After years of various values, the electrical utility industry has settled on 120 volts as the nominal home supply voltage. Formerly you would see 110, 115, 117, 120, 125, etc for typical target distribution voltages. The testing it has undergone assures this plug will dependably work at all these voltages within its rating.

A:  Go by the NEMA ratings. There are charts online that you can look at that have information on them. Search: "NEMA Plug Chart"

A:  A three prong dryer plug has two single phase power prongs and one neutral. These are usually designated with the "hot" leads having red and black insulation and the neutral having white insulation. A 4 prong dryer pigtail has same as above and an additional green wire that is the ground wire. This green wire protects the user from receiving an electrical shock if voltage should leak into the metal housing.

A:  4 prong is separate neutral and ground. 3 prong is combined. Come on people let's give correct info so nobody gets hurt. They are both 220/230/240v

A:  based on voltage 4 prong higher voltage, in US likely 220V

A:  The 3 prong plugs are for 2-pole, 3-wire applications and the 4 prong plugs are for 3-wire, 4-prong applications.

A:  4 prong contains 2 line leads (red and black) a neutral lead (white) and a ground (green or possibly bare copper) 3 prong connectors do not have a ground lead. FYI most new codes require 4 prong. It will all depend on how your house is wired, if the wiring is in conduit, etc.... which plug you need. Most dryers have literature to tell you how to wire depending on 3 or 4 wire.
