Hi, and thanks for the quick reply.

It's NMB...

Difficult to read the wording on the jacket, but looks like AMMCOFLEX and definitely 10-2 WITH GROUND TYPE NMB 600V (UL).

This is connected to the main service panel. I have to check again where the bare ground wire goes--I believe it is going to the ground bus. Is a bare wire permitted to go to the neutral bus? (This is a newer service, less than 2 years old, 200A with a separate ground and neutral bus, though they are bonded together.)

By the way...
I meant to ask in my original post--isn't the 30A breaker a bit close for the rating on the dryer? Figuring 4A for the motor and 23A for the rest, that's 27A, with a 30A breaker. Or, am I totally off since it's a double tandem breaker?
