Most full size residential dryers and the majority of consumer-level welders run off of 220 volt single phase, residential type voltage.
Only, with welders, you may need a higher amperage, dedicated circuit and breaker installed by an electrician, to properly operate it.
Homes in Canada use 240/120 volts at 60 cycles per second (60Hz) single phase. It is a split-phase system that delivers 240 volts to large domestic appliances (e.g. washing machines, dryers, air-conditioners, etc.) and 120 volts to lights and general socket outlets used for small appliances (coffee machines, electric shavers, televisions, etc.).
Appliances in a household that typically require the use of 220 volts include electric stoves, clothes dryers, and air conditioners.
It starts out with 480 Volts, which is used to power motors. 480 can be stepped down to 120/208/277. The 120 operates normal appliances, while 208 can be used for dryers and welders rated for 208. 277V is usually used for lighting circuits. 3-Phase is used in commercial and industrial settings.
Homes in Canada use Type A and Type B socket outlets and plugs for general electrical appliances such as kettles, televisions, hair dryers, table lamps, etc.For photos see the Related Links and also the answers to the Related Questions shown below.Some further informationHomes in Canada use 240/120 volts at 60 cycles per second (60Hz) single phase.

They usually operate at 220 to 240 volts with a 30 amp breaker. So the answer is yes.
Electric current is measured in amps not voltsElectric voltage is measured in volts.
The force of an electric current is measured in volts.
By electric volts
Electric pressure is called voltage, denoted by the unit volts (V).
2 volts
25,000 volts
North American household gas dryers run on 120 volts.
