I have only seen 277V in a residence once, & the owners were trying to replace the troffers with ceiling fans, thankfully it was taken care of before any magic smoke was released.

You can still get NOS Zinsco panels from time to time.

You can stick your fingers in a washing machine wringer too but neither idea is wise.

After spending a HUGE amount of time sorting hardware & putting it away am inclined to agree, still have a lot washers to sort & I think a lot are going to be scrapped.

2AWG AL is not rated for 100A, it is allowed under certain criteria to to be used for 100A, none of which the OP meets.

Damn, those things have gotten pricey I paid around $189 for the 1/2",& $10 for the 3/4", at a yard sale,

According to Mike Holt, NC, is on the 2020 NEC.

To add to that, the conductors should be stranded, not solid, for flexibility.

The rubber on that roof jack is going rot, Oatey style roof jacks are a POS. But it fits in with the rest of the install.

If someone was dealing with 480/277V or in Canukistan, 600/347V there might be a problem, but in the scope of this thread it's not a issue.

The statement in bold is very inaccurate, dryers have always needed a neutral for the motor, timer,& on some models a drum light, and the frame of the appliance was bonded to the neutral, what changed was the NEC no longer allowed that & a 4-wire receptacle was required.

Line, neutral & ground will only get you 120V in the US.

120 A is not a standard rating, 110A or 125A is.

In the 50 HZ world yes since it's a line to neutral voltage, unlike North America, where 240V or 208V is a line to line voltage.

The Utilitech brand is the same thing as the skull and crossbones, a warning.
