The receptacle is identified as being 125V. How would that possibly work for a stove (range)?

If that's what's provided for a range, then it should be pointed out as not functional for today's modern ranges.

Here ya go:


If there's a 40 amp breaker on the other end, it is way over fused/breakered for the 120 volt intended application.

Sorry, Robert, they appear in both posts to me.

What do you see?...Anything?

Maybe it's because you're not logged in as a member.

Your computer is broken Robert.

I see all the photos that have been posted.

What O.S. are you using and what browser?

So it's one of these:



That device is simple enough, just using one of the 120 volt legs of a 240 volt circuit. I can't see why someone would want to use a 120 volt appliance plugged into a 240 volt circuit backed up by a 40 or 50 amp OCPD.
