I have recently relocated to the US and brought European 220V appliances with me. I planed to use power transformers from 110 to 220, but learned that I have NEMA 10-30 outlet in my home, which, from what I understood, is 220V (but with 110V volts on the ground pin?!).
Anyhow, is there (or can I assemble) and adapter from NEMA 10-30 to European 220V and will it work?

A NEMA 10-30 is 2 hots and a grounded neutral conductor, with 110V H1-N and H2-N and 240V H1-H2, all at 60Hz. Whether an European appliance will accept it depends on the type of appliance:
