ok.
I have power to a switched box that i will wire to my compressor. i
have 4-strand 6 gauge cord.
problem is compressor has 2 hot and a ground, no neutral. what do i
do with my white wire?
my googling came up with:
A. attach it to the breaker along with the black. (sounds sketchy, why
not just not use it)?
B. ground it at the compressor. Sounds better but ?
Any help would be great.

As others have stated, neither A nor B is correct, there is no neutral connection. The *best*
solution would be to use _3-wire_ cable (2 hots plus ground).
