How do you wire a 220v receptacle?

Answer by  JohnHolmes (2660)

You would wire it in the same way you would wire a 110V outlet. Make sure you use thicker wiring to handle the additional current.

Answer by  DavidS (1517)

You connect the two hot wires to the brass screws. They should be black and red. Connect the white wire to the silver screw and the ground to green screw.

The black and red wires are your hots each carrying 110 volts, the white will be the neutral returning and either a green wire or exposed copper will be ground.
