View attachment 392093 View attachment 392094 Hey guys thanks for all the input so far. As promised here is the multimeter reading 220! And also a pic of the plug.
@cmndd is right. If I had access to the panel, (and paying for the circuit?). The engineer in me would check the gauge. If it was 12, I'd up the circuit to a 20A breaker. then I'd change the plug to the correct 6-20. All available anywhere electrical components are sold, including Home Depot. And take a whole 1 hour of labor. You will have done a good deed for the owner.
It could definitely mean...absolutely anything or nothing. The position of the outlet has no bearing on it at all and doesn't indicate anything about what voltage the building uses.Ok well here’s some more insight I think. This pic shows that the outlet is coming off of the garage door lift master... I circled the plug which is run up the wall and 10 ft off the ground ( the garage is about 15ft high). which could definitely mean 208v right?

My first thought on seeing it is that someone might have upgraded the garage door circuit to that box from 120v to 208/240v and failed to notice that little 5-15 branched off of it. I would want to see the inside of that box before I relied on that circuit for anything.

ThanksOr be safe with 6-15
I'd prefer 10 gauge for 6-20 and 8 gauge for 14-30 and 6 gauge for 14-50.
yeah all good points here. ... OK, a shorter cord is better. I’ll def still get 10AWG of the appropriate length and then make sure it’s laid out straight (not bundled/bunched up) so it can keep cool.OP, I also just realized that you mentioned you're using an extension cord. If it's the one in that picture, which I assume it is, that could certainly explain a 10v drop under load.
I didn't hook that up... didn't have a tall enough ladder, would that really change it much?
