This is questionably far off topic for a PV forum, but I know we have some members with great knowledge of the NEC code.
I could use some help finding the NEC code evidence to prove weather or not NEMA 10 series receptacles (10-20r, 10-30r, or 10-50r) are not suitable for new work.
At least that is what "the google" says.
I believe the issues is that nema 10 receptacles don't have a ground connection, just hot (*2) and neutral.
The closest thing I can find is 406.4(A)
Thanks for your assistance and time.

But that only applies to 15-20 amp circuits, not the 50 amp 10-50r that I am specifically interested in.Except as provided in 406.4(D), receptacles installed on 15- and 20-ampere branch circuits shall be of the grounding type. Grounding-type receptacles shall be installed only on circuits of the voltage class and current for which they are rated, except as provided in Table 210.21(B)(2) and Table 210.21(B)(3).
Thanks for your assistance and time.
