moving dryer to a new location!

Hello, i need to move my dryer to the garage because is in the kitchen now and is gas. i've got all the materials for the job, cable (4-conductor) wall outlet and the new cord to match the new installed. the house was build in 1955 and i do have a dual 30-amp breaker that was use for a dryer at one time, i see that i only have the neutral bar and all neutral and grounds are connected to this bar, how can i connect this 4-conductor cable to work properly?? can i connect both grnd and neutral to the same bar?

Sounds like you're all set. If this is the panel where the main disconnect is, you may connect the white and bare wires to the same bar. In most panels, a white wire may not share a screw with another wire. The new receptacle has four holes, right?

Electrical - AC & DC
Knob and tube blues

marcerrin on Apr 25, 2003

Im an electrical contractor in Washington State. Ive been getting alot of calls from people who are trying to sell there homes, but the buyers are all telling them they cant get insurance for the home because it has knob and tube wiring. So, I called an insurance agent and asked if this were the case, and she said YES! She also added that this has been a rule in Washington for the last 4 years, but only enforced in the last 2 years. Now, as a contractor this is good news for business, but what about these people who are selling their home and find out they have to sink upwards of $10,000 to have it even be considered by a buyer? It seems awfully brutal to me. The insurance woman added that there are some companies out there that will insure it, but for up to six times the cost. I ended up calling around 6 other agents and they pretty much sang the same tune. Is it like this in other states out there?Read More

Hi. I am looking for 150-200 amp Fuse Box. I am limited with purchasing them in my area. Does anyone know any good websites where I could purchase one at a discount or lower price instead of Lowe's prices?Read More
