Hello I recently purchased a sauna heater and I’m trying to get it wired up but having trouble, I have a 220 V outlet dryer right next to where my sauna is and we don’t plan to use it frequently so I would like to be able to plug my 220 V Sauna into my 220 V dryer plug when I would like to use it – here are some diagrams and photos I would love someone’s input and help. Presently I have a 3 prong dryer plug (30amp)
Upgrading the footings and columns that support a girder beam is an opportunity to level out the floor above.

It's weird -- designed for a 380V 3-phase system, with the option to use at 220V.
Put the ground wire on 1, one hot wire on 2-3 (connected together), and the other hot wire on 4-5-6. The neutral (of a 4-prong 240V plug) is not connected.
But this may not meet US code -- it doesn't appear that the unit is designed primarily for the US market.

So essentially are you saying leave the neutral disconnected totally? This photo is how I presently have it wired up, but the heater buzzes super loud.
Can you confirm that you are in the US? Where did you get this heater?

Yes, I live in the U.S. I got the heater on eBay, out of L.A. - however fairly sure it was made in Hong Kong.
