What is a 30A dryer cord?
A 30 amp dryer cord is the cord that comes attached to new clothes dryer. It is used to transfer the voltage from the wall receptacle to the dryer appliance. Earlier model dryers used to be hard wired directly from the distribution panel to the dryer. Hard wiring is no longer the case as people wanted to take there appliances with them when they moved from one home to another. New homes are now wired with 30 amp receptacles situated in the wall alcove where the dryer is to be situated. This allows the home owner to plug in the dryer without the hiring of an electrician to legally make the connection. Dryers that have been previously been hard wired can be upgraded with a 30 amp cord kit that can be purchased at any hardware store. Following the instructions included with the kits, any home owner can make the conversion and then connect their dryer into the dryer receptacle.
