We just moved into a new house. The dryer hookup is for a gas dryer, while we have a fairly new electric dryer we would like to hook up. The dryer has a 3 prong plug, 2 of the prongs are slanted (sort of like a 'V' without the bottom half of the letter), and the last prong has a right angle on it. I purchased some 10-4 cable, an electric socket, and a 2 pole, 30 amp breaker for the panel. When I wire the cable up to the outlet, do I put the 'hot' wires on the 'V' screws, the neutral wire on the right angle screw, and the ground wire on the screw in the middle of the outlet? Any other tips would be appreciated.
