You can't. A 220 volt dryer requires 220 volts in order to operate properly. It will not run on 110 volts.

Can you run a 110v heater on 220v circuit?
No.It'll overload and fail just about immediately.It's possible - but not recommended - to run two 110 v heaters in series from a 220v circuit.
How do you rewire a 400 watt metal halide shop light to run on 110?
400w is the power 110 is the voltage. Is your light using 110v already or 220v? Believe you are already running at 110 and u don't understand electrical terms. Perhaps you should call an electrician
How do you calculate the current converting 110V 5.5 A to 220V?
110 v 5.5 amps is 605 watts. If it is transformed, the power in watts stays the same (in principle), so the 220 system would run at 2.75 amps.
How can you supply 220v machine to 208v supply?
Most 220 volt equipment will work on 208 volt supply. If the machine has a resistive load then the watts output will be lower than if supplied from a 220 volt source. If it is a motor load you will find that the equipment may run a bit slower but most motors will take the lower voltage. If the machine is a plug in device, install the appropriate receptacle to match the pin configuration and plug it in. If it is a hard wire installation this should be done by a qualified person.
What gauge wire for 220v 60a underground run of 260 feet ocation South Georgia?
A #2 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 60 amps for 260 feet on a 220 volt system.
What size wire required to run 5 amp 220v?
45
Can an American 240V dual phase dryer be converted to work in Korea with 240V single phase power?
you could possibly design a fix for it but it would be a lot of trouble. the American dryer has internal components that run off 110v and that 110v is available from the three wire 220v circuit in the typical usa residence. this is because of the third wire, the neutral. the Korean 220 would be 2 wire. you would have to go inside the dryer, add a 220/110 transformer and rewire the dryer so that the 110v loads come off that transformer. it would then no longer be ul listed and would have to be evaluated by the authority having jurisdiction in Korea and back here in the usa.
How do you run a clothes dryer line to a fuse box that has glass fuses if there are 2 in the box that are not being used?
You need a 220V cartridge fuse block open, not just two 110V fuses. Fusing a 220V device with two 110V fuses at the panel is dangerous and doesn't meet code. If you have a 220V fuse block open, simply wire the two hots to the block, and then wire the neutral and ground normally. If you have fuses make sure the box and the feed can handle a clothes dryer. It may be wise to have an electrician evaluate the system for safety.
How would you make a patch cord to go from a 220V 30-amp 4-wire generator to run a 220V 20-amp 3-wire portable compressor?
Identify the neutral wire on the generator. This will be the unused conductor to run the compressor. The ground and line1, line 2 are all that are needed.
Will a clothes dryer rated at 220V 60 HZ work in a country that uses 220V 50 HZ?
Probably .. the fan will run a bit slower and the motor will get a bit hotter the timer will change from 1 hr to 1.16 hours
Can you convert a 220 dryer into a 110 dryer?
Yes, it's called a step-up transformer because, if I understand correctly, you want to step up from a 110v power source to run a 220v dryer. Depending on the power (wattage) rating of the dryer, it will probably cost as much as having 220v service installed by an electrician. Furthermore, the 110v circuit must be fused for at least twice the current rating of the dryer, assuming the transformer is 100% efficient. This is because Power = Voltage x Current. If you halve the voltage (220 --> 110), you must double the current in order to maintain the same power rating. For example, if the dryer normally draws 20 amps at 220 volts, it will require at least 40 amps from a 110 volt circuit. This would require a 4000 volt-amp transformer-- a very pricey item indeed. If you opt for such a unit I would certainly consult a certified electrician.
How do you wire 220V with 2 black 1 white wire?
Your black wires are your hot wires. The white is your neutral or common. It would be best to run an equipment ground (green wire) too.
what kind of voltage converter do I Need To Run A Clothes Dryer When I Just Have Standard 110 voltage In My Home ?
A step down converter will convert the voltage from 220/230 volts to 110 volts. Converters are labeled to display their capabilities, such as "110V to 220V Converter". Read the instruction manual for your Clothes Dryer and sketch the plug. You'll want to know the voltage of the clothes dryer --- it'll likely be 220 V. You need to visit a major appliance dealer and ask to buy a step down converter after discussing the plug type and voltage found in the owner's manual.

Do you need to get specific transformers-converters to run a cordless telephone and halogen lights from Europe?
Yes and no. European appliances run off 220V whereas American appliances run at 110V. However, American homes are wired for both 220 and 110 volts. 220 is just only used for large loads like ovens and dryers. If you know what you are doing you can install 220V outlets and then no, you don't need voltage converters. However, this is a very big job and is not worth the expense if you only have a few European appliances. You can buy 110-220V converters for this purpose.
Can i use a 220 volt ac in the basement to run branch circuits for 110 volt lighting?
Yes, you can use 220V to 110V step-down transformers for this purpose.
