If this is the main service in your home then you probably could not run both appliances at the same time. A range has a 40 amp breaker and a dryer has a 30 amp breaker protecting the feeders to these appliances. Even though both appliances do not draw the maximum current that the breaker allows it would be close. With other devices in use through out the home with the range and dryer on at the same time it will probably trip the panels 60 amp breaker.

What size circuit breaker for a stove?
that would really depend upon the stove (I assume that you mean an appliance with an electric cooktop and an electric oven) and the size of the wire present. Most of the time a stove will require a 50amp breaker. This will mean that you would need to have 6 gauge wiring. You can probably get by with a 40 amp breaker and 8 gauge wire if you absolutely had to. Always check the appliance specifications. they will recommend a breaker size.
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 use a 30 amp breaker for a stove?
The breaker commonly used for ranges is a 40 amp. This size is used to cover the total wattage of the range. If for some reason all of the top elements and the oven were in use at the same time then the amperage drawn would be just under the trip setting of the breaker. If this same scenario were played out on the range with a 30 amp breaker supplying the power it would trip the breaker.

You DO NOT NEED A TRANSFORMER!!! You Have 220 Volts Commint Into Your Breaker Box. Install A 50 Amp 2 Pole Breaker And Run A Circuit With 6 Guage Romex Wire To The Stove. You May Need To Go Under The House Or Whatever To Reach The Stove But Do It This Way. You won't have the capacity
