    220v pigtail how to
    Hi all,
    I am attempting to wire an "extension cord" that will convert my welders 220 outlet to fit into a dryer style outlet. I know which wire coming out of the welder is the ground, but don't know which of the two hot leads are which or if it matters, as long as hot goes to hot? Any help. Thanks
