I didn't know where to post this question since I'm new to this forum... if it's in the wrong place, just call me lost.Anyway, I have a one of those Russian designed MultiPlaz Plasma welder/cutter units and want to plug it into an unused 220VAC dryer outlet. The Welder only draws 16Amps (max load) and the circuit is wired for 30A so I'm good there. The welder is a 3-wire device (no neutral required) and the outlet is a dual angle, 3-wire thing... probably hot-neutral-hot. My question is: Can I just wire what I presume is the neutral leg of the outlet to the ground wire on the welder plug? The welder also has a chassis ground lug if that's of any help.I'm more concerned about not damaging the welder than I am about personal safety/code.Thanks
