Hi
I recently moved to memphis and got a place on rent. My garage is 30 feet away from the dryer socket.
I am new to this forum and i know its been discussed before but I need some advice on creating an extension cord from a 10-30 outlet used by my dryer (3 prong) to the car - 30 feet away. I bought a 10-30 plug and receptacle and ordered the NEMA 10-30 plug from tesla. What kind of wire should i use 10/2 ( with 3 wires - black white and naked) or 10/3(black red white and naked). The 10-3 plug and receptacle have only 3 places to connect wires.
i am so confused with the ground neutral discussion on the blogs. I dont want to burn the house down or electrocute anyone. I need a simple solution.
I am no electrician.
Please advice
