How do you wire a new 3 blade outlet for your range with four wires red white black and green ground?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz power supply service In a lot of areas, but not in all, you can put the neutral and ground together at the appliance Before you do any work on a range circuit, it is essential that you ask the electrical installation inspection authority in your area about this it is a serious safety matter Call and ask them what the rule is in your area As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed If you do this work yourself always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use an electricians test meter having metal-tipped probes (not a simple proximity voltage indicator) to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

5Locate or create a space wide enough for the new circuit breaker. If there is enough space to install the circuit breaker, skip to the next step. Otherwise, inspect the panel and assess your ability to move breakers up and / or down to create a space large enough for the breaker to fit.

Some older services have two "single- wide" circuit breakers installed adjacent to each other that provide power to a single "three wire" cable (a three wire cable has a bare or green wire and three insulated wires: white, black and red). The red wire is the indicator of a three wire cable. If there is a red wire connected to a single circuit breaker, trace it back to the cable from which it originates.

Once located, trace the black wire from that same cable to the point it connects to a circuit breaker. Most likely, this is the breaker directly above or below the breaker that has the red wire. Be sure to move these two single breakers as a pair.

Do not create a space between these two circuit breakers to install the new circuit breaker. Do not move just one breaker to the opposite side of the panel, they must be considered as a "matched pair" only. 6Remove circuit breakers by moving the switch handle to the OFF position and pushing on the handle away from the middle of the panel.

The circuit breaker will pop off the bus bar in the center of the panel and then it may be pulled off the side rail. 7Install the new circuit circuit breaker into the panel. Most circuit breakers are designed to be clipped on the side rail by aligning and pressing down at the terminal end or have a tang to engage a slot on the rail.

The tang must be engaged first, and then pressed onto the bus bar in the center of the panel.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
