In North America you would use a three wire cable. A dryer needs two voltage supplies. A 240 voltage for the heating element and 120 volts for the motor and controls. The three wire cable will have a ground wire in it also but in North America this is not counted as it is not a current carrying conductor. The size of the cable will be a 3C #10.
