Hello all, I have a small welder that has a three wire (blk/wht/grnd)
230 volt connection and I would like to plug it into my range outlet
which is four pole, 40 amp.(blk/wht/red/grnd)
My question is how can I connect a three pole receptical onto a four
pole lead ?
Thank You in advance.

Use the black, red, and green (or bare) wires, and tape up the white
wire. Do not accidentally switch the white and green wires when you put
the original stove receptacle back.

Best regards,
Bob
