A 220 oulet line carries two 110 vold lines and a ground wire. The outlet is shaped differently than the standard household (110) outlet, usually
having at least one (plug-in) prong 90 deg to the other, sometines two of the prongs. This type is usually found in a utility room for dryers, most of which use 220 power.
