This is one that should be left for a qualified person. As the job can effect life and limb a permit should be taken out and the job inspected. Failure to do this can leave you responsible if someone should get hurt due to faulty wiring or practices. Sorry, get an electrician and insist he takes out a permit and an inspection is done.

How do you hook up a three prong dryer cord that has no ground?

To hook up a three-prong dryer cord without a ground, first ensure the dryer is unplugged. Connect the black wire (hot) to the left terminal, the red wire (hot) to the right terminal, and the white wire (neutral) to the center terminal of the dryer's terminal block. Make sure to secure all connections tightly and replace any covers before plugging in the dryer. However, it's important to note that using a three-prong cord without a ground may not comply with electrical codes and can pose safety hazards.

Instead, the common wire provides a continuous 24V power supply from the HVAC system to the thermostat, allowing it to operate properly. Ground connections are typically separate and used for safety, while the common wire is essential for powering the thermostat's electronic components.

The neutral goes to the white or green and posts to the panel. If the welder has a switching power supply then you must have a three phase converter.
