[Amps] TL922 Power Plugs

[Gary Schafer]

But in this case neutral and ground are one and the same and it IS ok to
ground the cabinet of the dryer to a ground.

Under the new code, with separate ground and neutral wires, it is correct
that neutral and ground should not be connected outside of the main panel.
