NOT nearly always.
A 15A/240v receptacle will have both horizontal.
A 20A/240v will have a " l - " configuration.
30 & 50A are very large.



Why not tell us what this appliance is? What does the plug look like?





Speedy, If ihad to tell so many variations, I would have had to write a chapter. Or copy the entire chapter of the NEC 200-250 etc...and 300-350.etc...The best thing for the OP to do would be to get a licensed electrician.
Or like you said provide us with more detail. Such as "what type of appliance?"
Then we could give the op much more specific's on what is related.
