Default Convert a 110v to a 210v for an electric dryer

A transformer should be able to do it, if your electric supply can stand twice the current at 110v that the dryer requires at 220v. I don't expect that it can it a mobile home, though. See your local electrician for details.

Hmmm, a 120v 60 amp circuit and an 8 KVA transformer?

Yeah right.


That transformer will be less than 100% efficient, so you'll need more
than 60A. Also, will you need #4 wire?
