Can you add a 220 line to your 150 amp panel?

Adding a 220V line to a 150 amp panel is feasible, but you must ensure the panel can accommodate additional amperage. Consult an electrician to confirm if the panel has available space and if it meets the necessary electrical code requirements for the new line.


A clothes dryer uses 5500 w of power when connected to a 220-v ac line how much current does the dryer draw from the line?

5500Watts/220V=25 Amps


Why do you need a double 30A pole for an electric dryer if you only have one pole left in your box?

The dryer is 220VAC. You need a double pole breaker to get 220 out of a home breaker panel. Perhaps you should contact an electrician who understands wiring so that you don't burn your house down.


What is the resistance of a hair dryer that draws 12A when plugged into a 220V line?

The resistance can be calculated using Ohm's Law: resistance = voltage / current. In this case, the resistance of the hair dryer would be 18.33 ohms (220V / 12A).


Is there a device to operate a 220 volt dryer into two separate 110 volt outlets?

No and it wouldn't work. The wires in a standard plug (#14) even at 240 volts would not be large enough to handle the 30 amps (#10) that a dryer would need.


How do you wire a 220v dryer to run on 110?

You can't. A 220 volt dryer requires 220 volts in order to operate properly. It will not run on 110 volts.


Can a 240v be plugged in to a 220v socket?

In some parts of the world, an 1875 watt hair dryer can and does use 220 volts from a 220 volt outlet?


What is the average cost for 220 line to be installed?

The average cost for installing a 220 line can range from $200 to $500, depending on factors such as the distance from the electrical panel, type of wiring needed, and any additional electrical work required. It is recommended to get quotes from licensed electricians in your area to get an accurate estimate.


What size wire is used for a 220 volt dryer?

For a standard clothes dryer, new homes are roughed in with 3C #10 cable which is rated at 30 amps.


In your home your stove and your electric clothes dryer usually run on what volt?

220 volts. In the US.


How do you wire a 220v connection into the main panel?

I assume you mean you are wiring a 220 volt circuit. You will install a 220 volt double pole breaker of the correct size for the circuit. An example would be for an electric dryer that requires a 30 amp double pole breaker wired with 10/3 wire. You connect the Red & Black wires to the breaker. One on each screw. You now connect the White wire to the neutral bus bar in the service panel. Then connect the bare copper ground wire to the ground bus bar in the service panel. At the dryer outlet connect the black & red to the hot screws, white to the neutral, and ground to ground. They will be labeled on the back of the outlet.


Can you use a range 220 for a dryer 220?

The plugs are different. The prongs are straight on one and angled on the other. The wire and breaker are the same. You can either change the outlet or the cord.
