That is not a 240 plug in that is for 120, a 120 volt out let will not fit a 240 volt cord.

That is not a 240 volt ( nema 6-20R ) Recepticle and you will not be able to use that plug for 240 volt. It is not terminated properly in more ways than 1. Your wires are barely under the screw and you have a "dead short" on 1 side of it with the white and red wires together. Please see your other post as I Have responded there as well. You really need to critique yourself M8, because you are swimming in dangerous waters.

The white wire you see in the picture is only bringing red hot from left side to the other left side of second outlet... and the black wire is bringing right black hot to right side of outlet 1

The 1000 watt ballasts have regular plugs ( not stove like plugs ) and draw 240 v
