Eargon,

What do you see wrong.

It's not pretty but is it really wrong?

My apologies on spelling your name wrong Eragorn.

If you are indicating that the 120 volt receptacle is being protected by a 30 amp breaker then yes it is wrong.

Maybe it really is "Gary"--you've been spelling (and saying) it wrong all these years.

Maybe...?!

Besides the wrong connector used on the 2 wire cable there is the possiblility that this is being fed from one leg of the 30 amp dryer circuit. Add in the fact that the cable is not properly secured.

I understand your mental level now Wayne. I would think a person of your age would be utilizing their free time to watch CNN, but you must have to dumb it down a bit. Stay out of the NFE section. I don't know if they watch sponge bob.
