My 2-cents: it should be the responsibility of the manufacturer to ensure the bonding jumper is installed OR ommitted depending on what cord is installed, but for safety and all out good practice, the EC should double check the appliance(s) supplied.. A couple seconds with a continuity tester never hurt anyone.

A.D

In new construction, the EC is responsible. Doesn't matter how ordered it. Doesen't matter who installed it. Jonnie's 3 rd cousin once removed might have installed it. Doesen't matter if the plumber install the cord on the dishwasher, The EC of record is responcible for all electric work under that permit. Same goes for bonding the pool steel. I get electricans all the time tell me, "the pool guys did". I don't care who you let do it, it falls under the EC's license.

No way.

The company I work for is not responsible for actions of another contractor or homeowner.

Many of our jobs have multiple ECs with multiple permits I am not responsible for their portion anymore than they are responsible for mine.

e57,
The plate doesn't really tell you, it just has the Kilowatt rating for 2 different sizes, 5k and below is #10, and 7k is #8 wire.
The wire writing on the #10 pigtail says 10 AWG AWM 3173 125c XLPE.
This 125 degree centigrade #10 wire need 30 amp wire or 40 amp wire.
There is a energy tag that says 390KW max,(which would be #10 wire) so it sounds like #10-3 NM wire would work, unless the insulation rating on the pigtail. means its good for 40 amps.
