Clothes Dryer Electrical Service
Can I use 10ga wire and a 30amp breaker to put in a standard home clothes dryer? Wire run is approx. 40feet.

Sounds like the one that starts with the post hole diggers, and is simular the solar powered clothes dryer that I have for sale for $79.95 plus shipping. Some assembly required! |

Re: Clothes Dryer Electrical Service
We had an apprentice do all the range and dryer outlets in an aprartment building last fall. On one range outlet he put one hot leg on the neutral and the neutral on the hot. Cooked all the electronics on a new range. That 110 stuff dosen't like 220 I guess.
