What gauge of wire to connect electric dryer?
You need a 3 conductor #10 cable. A #10 wire is rated at 30 amps.
Can you use a 20 amp circuit breaker for an electric dryer?
If you are referring to a cloths dryer, the answer depends on the requirements of the dryer. Most dryers require AWG#10 wire with a 30 amp fuse. If the wiring is AWG#12 then use a 20 amp breaker but never use it on AWG#10 which requires a 30 amp breaker. If you are referring to a hair dryer then yes a 20 amp breaker is fine.
Can you convert 4 prong dryer cord to 3 prong?
Probably not. The reason is the amperage required by the electric range. They typically require 50 amp whereas a dryer normally only requires 30 amp. Therefore, the wiring feeding the dryer is not large enough to support an electric range. Your range should be wired with #6 or 8 gauge wire, whereas your dryer is likely only wired with # 10 gauge which will not carry 50 amps.

What size amp circuit breaker should be used for a gas dryer?
Typical residential electric dryers are on 30 amp circuits, which means 10 gage copper wire. The circuit breaker should match the dryer cord rating, generally 30 amps.
How much will your electric bill increase if you buy an electric dryer for an average of 5 loads per week?
About $10. Do the math. Amps x Volts = Watts. A typical dryer is 30 amps @ 240 volts. That's 7200 Watts. Average electricity cost is $.07 per 1000 watt-hours. So...if you run the dryer for one hour ...it will use 7200 watt-hours. 7.2 x $.07 = $.50 per hour of usage.
What is the cost to wire a new dryer outlet?
Depends on several factors. How far is dryer from electric panel? Is it gas or electric? Is there easy access to where wire must be run? Must an electric permit be obtained? With the price of copper a 100 ft. Run off 10 AWG wire may cost about $100 and another $30 for a breaker and $10 for outlet. Then there is labor which will vary by area, but may cost at least $50 per hour. So you are likely in the $300 price range. Get a free estimate from your local electrician.
