How can you connect a welder to a dryer receptacle?
First you need to know that an electric dryer is almost always a 30 amp 220 Volt power supply. Most small welders require a 50 amp 220 volt power supply. Check your welder's power requirement. If it requires 50 amps, it'll never work correctly on 30 amp.The plug conversion is simple. The wire your dryer is powered by will have two "hot" legs, the red and black wires. These supply the 220 volt. Then it has a ground (bare copper or green conductor. And last it has a white wire, the neutral.Your 3 prong plug on your welder only requires the two "hot" legs and the ground wire. You shunt the neutral white wire with a wire nut.

Will a 230 v welder work with 2 30 amp fuses?
That depends entirely on the current draw of the welder. A small welder will work fine with 30 amp fuses, but make certain that the house wire is at least 10 Ga if you'll be running 30 amps through it. If you're putting 30 amps through any wire smaller than 10 Ga, you run a very high risk of burning your house down. If you aren't completely conversant with electrical codes and applications, you should consult with a qualified electrician or handyman (although some would argue about the handyman) You may THINK that contracting out electrical work is expensive, but having your house burn down is FAR MORE expensive.
