I am glad the owner is stepping up, this was a kludge on so many levels it isn't funny.

Previous poster mentioned all the visual clues, I'll add something else. The NEMA 10-30 dryer receptical, the one most commonly confused with the NEMA TT-30, has been against code since 1996. All undgrounded 220V have been against code for installation since 1996. So even if the electrician thought the owner was asking for 30A 220V, that should have been the very first clue. A proper 30A 220V is a 4 prong receptical!
