Wiring Issues

1)Neutral and ground must be isolated to the point of service. That means to the main panel box. If you are using a subpanel you must bring the ground back seperate. So yes to main panel/ no to subpanel

2) 20 amps

3)How about a fused pullout at the appliance, gives you overcurrent protection and a disconnect all in one.

For a 30 amp, 240 volt appliance being wired in new, can the safety ground be wired to the neutral bar?

What is the maximum amperage for 12 gauge solid wire?

If your 30 amp appliance is 3-wire...cap the neutral and use the ground on the receptacle or in the j-box. Always ground. Older panels are bonded anyway and you can use the neutral bar in those cases.
