uh? just the red & black? Where's the nuetral connected? You gotta
have a return circuit.
if you've got 10/3 then you've to red, black, white, ground right?
Am I missing something here or just don't know what I'm talking about.

an oulet for 4800 watt construction heater in my shop. I've run 10/3
wire to the outlet, added a 2-pole 30amp breaker to the sub-panel, and
installed a 6-30 plug by connecting the black and red wires to the
blades on the plug...

I get 120v on each side of the plug with my voltmeter.

Do you get 240V between the hots on the plug?
