Weird question:
Im setting up a legal growroom in my basement. I have a 220v lighting controller that will supply juice to my 6x600w lamps.
I dont want to add a circuit and i recently converted to a gas dryer, therefore my 30amp 220v 3 prong dryer outlet is unused.
What i want to do is plug in a dryer cord and then hook the ends up to the light controller.
If i understand a 3 prong dryer correctly it is 2 hots and a neutral/ground.
The light controller has connections for 2 hots and a ground.
Can i hook up the ground/neutral of the pigtail to the green ground connector of the light controller?
Im only gonna draw 15 amps at 220 which i believe will be fine for the #10 dryer wire.
