Is there any conversion plugs to go from a 4 prong 240 volt dryer outlet to a 3 pronged dryer wire?

Answer 1

for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.

Well, yes, and no. You CAN'T just disconnect the wires from the 60 amp outlet and connect them to three 20 amp outlets. It would be more like tearing out and rebuilding than converting. The 240 volt outlet has a hot wire from each side of the breaker box and each can supply a series of standard outlets if you replace the 60 amp breakers with 20 amps and pull 12 gauge wires.

Actually you CAN just disconnect the wires and connect several 20 amp outlets, IF you change the breaker to a 20 amp one. The breaker/fuse has to be sized for the lowest current link, in this case it is not the wire but the outlets. The wire will be oversized but it does not need to be replaced. Some older dryer circuits also did not include a ground, so you will have to run a grounding wire or install a GFI.

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.

Before you do any work yourself,

on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,

always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Answer 2

Yes, there are conversion plugs available that can convert a 4-prong 240 volt dryer outlet to a 3-pronged dryer wire. However, it is important to note that using such adapters is not recommended as it can pose safety hazards. It is generally recommended to hire a licensed electrician to install the proper outlet for your dryer.

Answer 3

The customary solution is to install a 4 pronged dryer wire. Readily available.
