What kind of socket is this?
Hi -
Just moved in. The house has a gas dryer hookup. We of course have an electric dryer. I did notice a heavy duty socket on the wall. It looks a lot like a NEMA TT30 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEMA_co..._TT.E2.80.9330) but with vertical slots instead of the 45 degree angled slots. The house was build in the early 80's. Any ideas at all on what this could be? Any chance of hooking a dryer to it? Not too hopeful. But I thought it's worth asking. Short of using that outlet, what should I expect to pay a contractor to run a proper 250V socket? The garage is finished. Thanks! Brian |
