Where is the double 30 amp breaker in an electric dryer?
It should be in the main circuit panel. If the dryer was added at some point there may be a separate box just for the dryer either beside the main panel or at the dryer plug. It is not in the dryer itself.
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 is the max height of dryer plug from floor?
The maximum height of the dryer plug from the floor should be 1.5m.
Can you hook up a 240V circuit in series to a dryer and electric range?
The short answer is no. First off I assume you mean "can you have a dryer and an electric range on the same circuit?" (If they were actually wired in series, then you couldn't use your range if the dryer was off) In theory you could have them on the same circuit you just need to make sure that the wiring and the circuit they are on can handle the number of amps the two of them could draw together. If your breaker isn't big enough, it kill the power to the range while you are cooking dinner. If the wiring can't handle the load, then there is a fire risk. A dryer is usually on a 30amp circuit and a range is usually on a 50amp circuit, so to have them together would require an 80amp circuit, which will be difficult to find a breaker and wiring for.
Can you wire in a range outlet and plug in a dryer with the same plug configuration?
== == A dryer outlet is only safe to use for one purpose: to power a dryer.Obviously you can attempt to use it for something else, such as an electric range, but it is NOT SAFE to do it!You could drive on the wrong side of the road but it is NOT SAFE to do it!You could put your hand into a fire but it is NOT SAFE to do it!In general the reasons for saying it is not safe to use something other than a dryer on a dryer outlet are all about being sure that the circuit you will use for the other appliance (in this case an electric range) has: * the right size of wires to carry the current the appliance takes and* the right size of breakers on the main supply panel to protect the appliance - and the wiring to it - from catching fire if there is ever a malfunction. Electric ranges are quite different to dryers: people are likely to be "in close attendance" to them all the time they are on! You have to be sure you wire them up correctly and safely to avoid there being any kind of risk of anyone getting electrocuted.You also have to be sure that the supply circuit used is of the right kind to protect the house from a house fire. That can happen if there is a malfunction in the range but the circuit breakers on the main supply panel - or the wiring feeding it - are the wrong size. The circuit breakers on the main supply panel - and the wiring feeding the outlet for the range - must all be properly sized and correctly and safely installed. == == For more information please see the Related Questions shown below. As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

Plug a dryer into a regular plug?
Need to know what type of dryer.
What is 240v?
the voltage of the mains electricity in the UK
How do you convert a gas drier to an electric drier?
A gas clothes dryer will never become an electric dryer. To convert from an old gas dryer to a new electric model, the only major thing is to make sure there is the right kind of electric power outlet. Nearly all dryers require a large 30A 230V plug. Your gas dryer had only a regular 15A 117V plug, just light the other regular outlets in the house. Grounding is essential (!) for an electric dryer. If the ground is not there you will eventually get a horrible shock from the washer or dryer. A few clothes dryers (usually apartment sized models) use only the standard outlet, but expect a drying time of 2 hours plus for a small load of clothes.
How do you tell if you have a gas or electric dryer hookup?
A gas hookup will have fittings for a gas line, they should be clearly visible. In an electric hookup there will be an electrical plug, but no gas lines showing.
Is there an adapter for electric dryer to hookup to gas line?
No. An electric dryer has no burner or combustion controls.
Where should you put a hair dryer holder?
You would want to place it in a location that was easy to access and had an electric supply while remembering to keep the hair dryer plug away from all water sources.
What is the max height of dryer plug from floor?
The maximum height of the dryer plug from the floor should be 1.5m.

Does an electric fan flashlight hair dryer or an electric iron able to convert electric energy to heat and motion?
Hair dryer. I had the same question,weird.

Will an electric dryer shock if it is plugged into an electric stove outlet?
You bet it will.
