About the transformer, you'd be surprised how 'light' the transformer
can be using a 110 to 110 it only needs to be rated at 110V and what
you're supplying at 220, or in this case 4kVA. Why? draw it out, you'll
see.



The completely insane idea of thinking one could run a drier from a 115-
230 transformer reminds me of a construction project I saw in a 1948(?)
Popular Mechanics.


Build your own electric clothes drier....out of plywood!

The problem is that you all never read enough Popular Mechanics.

What the OP should do is get a plug-in transformer, meant for a toy or
radio or something, AC output, and get a 6 to 220 volt transformer.
That way it will use less current, because those little transformers
only use an amp or two. All of you have been brainwashed by the
electxric company, which claims you need 60 amps for a dryer. One amp
is plenty.
