That's not a 220V pattern -- that's 120V 20A.


Perhaps, but I've seen it wires as 220v more than once where a window
A/C unit lived.


Take a look at the chart he

I suspect that you've been looking at 6-20R without realizing what it was.


How do you plug a 120V fan (1-15P or 5-15P) into a 6-20R?

BTW, I notice how those charts always have a certain omission. What
does the 2-15P plug into?
