I have a 240 volt heater 2 wire (plus ground).
I want to temporarily use the heater out in my shed . I have run 10/2 cab tire cord from the house to the shed.
Now at the house end I would like to plug the 10/2 cord into my 30 amp dryer receptical. I have a spare 4prong plug from an old dryer. Can I join the end of the 3 wire plug to the 2 wire heater cord using only black to black , white to white ground to ground and then cap off the third red wire from the dryer plug ?
