Ran a dryer line across the basement
And now my wife finally has stackable laundry in the kitchen.
And surely you used 12 gauge or lower wire to make it happy, right?
I thought it was 10 gauge for a 30amp dryer outlet (NEMA 14-30).
And surely they used properly grounded 4 wire.
Unless it's a heat pump unit, in which case I don't know anything (some are 120?).
Or it's in a civilized country with 240V, in which case I know nothing at all.
I have an extremely minor quibble: most of the world's countries using an AC voltage over 200 volts are using 230 V single-phase nominal. Whereas 240 V single-phase really only appears now in former British colonies, and many have since redefined their nominal voltage to match the 230 used everywhere else. This includes the progenitor of this voltage, the UK, as part of harmonization with the European power grid -- when they were part of the EU -- but that was accomplished by raising the EU upper voltage tolerance to include British 240 V single-phase.
North America does have 240 V split-phase, which mostly works fine for unpolarized 208/230/240 volt appliances, but it's just not common to provision for general-purpose circuits -- even though we could do it . Would that redeem America as a civilized country? The jury is still out...
