220v for a welder
i would just like to run this by some experts to insure i am doing this correct.
i have a 40 amp 2 pull braker, 8/3 wire ( because it was free i am using 3 wire) the outlet is rated for 50 amps. now since i will use the black and red for hot and the bare for ground. can i just cap off the white wire at the panel and at the box ? does this sound like a correct install.
