A dryer requires a 30 amp receptacle. This will be to receive a four blade dryer plug. The wire needed will be a three copper wire #10 cable set with a bare #14 copper ground wire. The breaker will be a two pole 30 amp breaker.
You never, ever mix wire sizes within a circuit. However you can wire a 30 amp circuit using AWG # 8/3 wire, although that is overkill and AWG #10 wire is what you would normally use on a 30 amp circuit.
the size of the wire that you need to run depends on the the amperage of the device/appliance you'll be hooking up to that line. Use #12 wire for 20 amp, #10 for 30 amp, #8 wire for 40 amps and #6 for 50 amps. Hope that helps.
#10 wire is used on a 30 amp service.
A 30 amp breaker run 75 feet would require you use AWG #10 wire. But, an oven normally pulls more that 30 amps and I would not use #10 wire on a 30 amp breaker for an oven. Normally any newer oven is wired with AWG #6 gauge wire on a 50 amp circuit breaker so the breaker will not trip during heavy use of the oven. Some older ovens could use a #8 wire on a 40 amp breaker.
No, you should not use 10 gauge wire with a 30 amp dryer. A 30 amp dryer requires a minimum of 10 gauge wire, but it is recommended to use 8 gauge wire to ensure safety and to meet electrical code requirements. Using 10 gauge wire may cause overheating and pose a fire hazard.

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.
No !
no. depending on length of run you'll need either 10 or 6 gauge wire for a 30 amp double pole breaker.
If you have a 2-wire 30 amp compressor and you want to connect it to a 3-wire 30 amp dryer plug, you may need to install a new 3-wire power cord on the compressor that matches the dryer plug configuration. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and all safety guidelines when making any electrical connections.
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.
For a stove, use a 8 or 6 gauge wire with a 40 to 50 amp breaker. For a dryer, use a 10 or 8 gauge wire with a 30 amp breaker. For a hot water heater, use a 10 or 8 gauge wire with a 30 or 40 amp breaker. Be sure to consult local electrical codes and guidelines for specific requirements.

For a 220V 30 amp service, you typically need a NEMA 6-30 plug. This plug has three prongs: two hot wires and one ground wire. Make sure to consult a professional electrician to ensure proper installation.
You will need a 10-gauge wire for a 30 amp clothes dryer. This wire size is suitable for handling the current required by the appliance and is rated for 30 amps according to the National Electrical Code (NEC). Be sure to follow all local building codes and regulations when installing the wire.
A 30 amp fuse wire typically has a diameter of around 0.08 inches (2 millimeters).
