1984 dryer outlet

[canman]

Does anyone know if a 10-2 w/bare ground was legal on a dryer outlet in 1984? Thanks.

It has never been legal as far as I know.

I second Johns post, it wasn't legal in 84.

It required three insulated conductors, 10/3 with out ground was a common item.

A bare ground was ok if it was part of an SE cable & originated from a main breaker panel & not installed in a mobile home.
