I am new here and have a question. Normally (at least here) a 220 volt
hot water heater is wired using 10/2 with ground. I have a timer box
connected and it works fine and has for years now. In order to connect a
110-120v circuit to operate a 110v timer (one that increments time in
units when the heater is actually using energy), one would initially
think seeing that the ground is there that you could connect to either
the red or black wire and the ground to get 110-120v. I guess it would
work but I want to do it correct according to code. My Intermatic Timer
box has a lug for the nuetral (if it exists) and also the ground. My
current setup uses only the ground, red and black. Am I correct that I
could run a new 10/3 with ground and connect all 4 wires to my timer box
and then use the nuetral, ground ,and one of the 120v wires to have a
correctly wired circuit to add my 110v intermittent timer to??
Thanks in advance,
Dave
