When installing a 240 volt dryer, would you reuse the existing 10-30r or change it to the technically correct 6-30r?
Depends on the existing installation, see 250.140, and what the customer wants.
What is the wiring type to the receptacle?
10/3 without ground, no egc; hence my dilemma.
So you have black, red, and white insulated conductors, no? Strip off the insulation from the white or put on some green tape and use it as an EGC.10/3 without ground, no egc; hence my dilemma.
The balance of electrons in the Northern Hemisphere depends on it.So the silly re-identification of conductors smaller than #4 rule is the problem.:rant:
Stupid/silly rule IMO.

Hey! Don't be snickering at the power of the quantum world.

Technically a violation, but I may know someone who knows someone that would possibly endorse that idea in his opinion........
I am not sure if it is a violation to strip off the insulation to make an EGC. I have stripped the red off of MC, used it for an EGC and kept the green for an isolated ground.Technically a violation, but I may know someone who knows someone that would possibly endorse that idea in his opinion........

In this case I would have no worries about using some green tape or sharpie.
Pretty sure that is a violation of 250.119.....do not tell anyone, I have done the same/similar.
You made me look it up.250.119 Identification of Equipment
Grounding Conductors
Unless required elsewhere in this Code, equipment ground-
ing conductors shall be permitted to be bare, covered, or in-
sulated. Individually covered or insulated equipment
grounding conductors shall have a continuous outer finish
that is either green or green with one or more yellow stripes
except as permitted in this section. Conductors with insula-
tion or individual covering that is green, green with one or
more yellow stripes, or otherwise identified as permitted by
this section shall not be used for ungrounded or grounded
circuit conductors.

I am going to stake my claim on the idea that if I strip off the insulation the wire is bare and no longer continuous.
That will at least get me though the confessional with a light penance
Purgatory is a concern
