I have an electric hot water heater (240v) that presently has 3 wires (2 hot and ground). I'm in new construction and think the code requires 4 wire ( 2 hot, neutral and ground) but I don't see anywhere on the hot water heater to hook the neutral except to the ground and this doesn't seem right.
Anyone know if I need 4 wires and if so where to hook the neutral.
Thanks
Elton
