Let's say I'm working in a house, and the homeowner wants me to disconnect the cable feeding an unused electric dryer receptacle. The homeowner also wants me to leave the cable in the panel, so that there is a possibility of reconnecting it in the future.
I can't find anything in the NEC that says I can't just leave the unused wires hanging in the panel, but there must be a better way. I was thinking of bundling the wires together with a label that says "For Future Use", and then terminating the wires at the grounding bus bar in the panel.
Is this an acceptable solution, or are there dangers with this approach that I'm not thinking of?
