electrican sent 240v to my rv.
Was having a 30 amp circuit installed to run my air on a 1993 Itasca rv. Electrician screwed up an tried to run on 240. Looks like he smoked the converter, what else can I expect?

There should of been a 4th wire if it was 240v.
There's a 30A 240V outlet that only has three conductors that is common for use with welders and compressors. That's probably how he wired it.
even a 30A 240v will have 4 wires hot hot netural ground NOT NECESSATLY !!! Again someone who does not know what he's talking about !!!!!!!!!!!!!
. If you have seen one I would like to see a link the only time I have seen where you use the 3 wire system for 240 volt is in a two wire submersible well pump it only has a hot hot ground coming off the pump so you would combine the netural and ground or just run 3 wires.
WElders, Air Conditioners, Table Saws, to many thing to list that just use two hot wires and a ground wire. NO neutral required.
Like I said this is a major screw up. If it was done at a home then and 3 wires were used I just can see someone with any know how could do this. You would know that as you hooked up in the panel when you didnt have a netural and or a ground wire??? This guy was an idiot.and should lose his/her license but Im guessing he doesnt have
one.
Not saying that the idiot who hooked up his 30 amp 120 volt RV outlet to 240 volts should not have any access to electrical work.
