I didn't know what to make of this due to the age of the house. 18 year old house with single strand aluminum wires going to a 30 amp 240 volt breaker for an electric clothes dryer line. The clothes dryer in the house is now a gas dryer so the dryer outlet and circuit is not in use.
In the pic, you'll see that yes, I did remove the conductor from the breaker after turning the breaker off because I wanted to confirm the wire as either tin-clad copper or solid aluminum. The breaker was labeled as a Cu/Al breaker.
When is the most recent date as to when single strand aluminum wiring would have been used in a house (aside from 1992 which is the date this house was built)?
