each bottom tab is 120 v, so if you ran the white to the left the plugs would have 240v, but nothing 240 plugs in to a regular outlet like this one, the plugs are different.
i can't +rep you enuff dude

this is great info, i could tell a sub contractor to build me a laundry room(wink, wink grow room),, and wire it so that i can use an electric dryer 6
they will put in a 240V 30amp dryer plug.
then all i have to do is convert the plug into a usable standered plug
i just have to remimber:
cord needs to be rated for whatever the service is, example 30 amp service. need 30 amp cord. max watts is determined by the service, example 30 amps times 120 volts equals 3600 watts per leg (ex. cord) of 120 so, 7200 watts
if running 1 leg (ex. cord) still wire it with the white and green to the ground (top) the black goes to either of the bottom legs, not both
