I'm in the process of finishing my basement and resurrecting my shop. I planned for the acquisition of a cyclone dust collector down the line and pulled wires for the 15A 220V NEMA L6-15R outlet the dust collector requires. But I ran into a little trouble when I tried to install the receptacle today.
I've installed 3-conductor w/ground romex from a double-pole 15A breaker at the panel (red power, black power, white neutral, bare ground). The receptacle (Hubbell Wiring Devices HBL4560) only has two screw terminals, both brass, and a separate ground screw. Both brass screw terminals have (2) push-in backwiring slots each. The extraordinarily detailed package instructions read:
"Connect conductors: Green or bare to green hex screw, white or gray to silver screw, black or red to brass screw." This makes sense, except.... there is no silver/neutral screw.
The Hubbell website (http://www.hubbellcatalog.com/wiring...ces&PN=HBL4560) as proven less than helpful - I can find catalog pages and technical specifications, but no wiring diagrams or installation instructions. Any thoughts on what I've missed here?
