If you buy a suitable adaptor to allow you to use american devices in the UK - you should be fine. The adaptor should change the voltage of the mains to a level suitable for your equipment. CHECK with the adaptor's manufacturer to ensure it's suitability for your needs.

Can you hook up a two pole 20 amp breaker to a 30 amp outlet for a dryer?

Probably not. If the appliance has multiple heating levels then you might get away with it. In this scenario you would only be able to use 30 amps of the appliance's 40 amp capacity before the breaker would trip.

Can you change a dryer from 120 volts to 240 volts It came wired as 120 volts but we do have an outlet for 240 volts Was hoping to speed up dry times and save some?

If the dryer is a clothes dryer then the short answer no. If it is a hair dryer then there might be a voltage switch on the handle that allows you to change voltages. If the manufacturer of the clothes dryer specified that it can be operated on dual voltages then it is just a matter of changing a few terminal connections. Check the instruction manual to see what it states there. This is very unlikely though. In North America all clothes dryers need 120/240 volts to operate. The 120 volts is used for the timer relays and for the drum motor, the 240 volts for the heating elements in the dryer. By changing to a higher voltage, it will not speed up the speed up the drying time. It is more likely that if you plug the dryer into the 240 volt receptacle it will burn the 120 volt motor out.

How many wires are used to wire a standard dryer?

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.
