May this extension cord be used to power a clothes dryer. I have some dryers I need to test and can not get them close enough to an existing 220

You would have to change the ends due to dryer plugs being difference. Also, this is a 30 AMP, 125 V, single pole cord whereas dryer cords are 2 pole meaning that two lines hot (110 V each for a total of 220 V at 15 amps each for a total of 30 AMPs). Care would have to be used on the load specifications and such. It might be cheaper to go to a store and buy 50 ft (or whatever you need) of the right wire and two plugs and make your own extension cord. Menards/Lowes have the available parts.

you would have to change both male and femail plugs as this is designed for an RV

Sorry but no. Because a dryer needs a lot of power, it has a different style of plug. This extension can carry a maximun of 20 Amps, your dryer needs 30 Amps. and uses a large "crowsfoot" plug.

I'm pretty sure it would be 110 as it is just plugged into a regular outlet. I think 220 is for stuff like clothes dryers. I assume you are refering to a hair dryer.

If the power is 220 to 240 then the answer is yes, provided you have the proper adapter. We actually have two one for the US and one for Europe. This is an excellent Hair Dryer.

Hello,This 15 foot cord is rated at 15 amps. It your hair dryer is rated at that level or below, then you should be OK. That information should be either on the dryer or the box. If it doesn't show amps, the amps can be determined by dividing the watts by the volts. Example: 1500 watt dryer divided by 110 volts (typical U.S. house current), then you're pulling 13.6 amps, and you would be OK in this example. Dryer wattage varies considerably, so just to be safe, check it out. Hope this helps you!

Would not recommend that. The wire gauge for this extension cord is 14/2. Everything that I've read about 220 tells me that you need a minimum of 10 gauge wire to carry 220.

it's made to be used in the states on a 110. When i lived in Europe, I kept a transformer in the house and used that with all my 110 products. Don't use an adapter...make sure you use a transformer with enough voltage so you don't fry your dryer

NO!!!!!! because the motor is 115vac@60hz if their was a selector switch you can select it too 220vac@50hz the plug is a 3 prong type just like for your 220v dryers etc you have to make a long cord on top of the cord that is on unit however it is not contact bissell for details on this product if they do or do not. thk's

I wouldn't think for the dryer because the plug is a different configuration and the wire is a larger gauge. Possibly could use for the washer but i wouldn't.

Very likely, however I would ask an electrician before I used an extension cord on any big appliance. Jean

Yes it will work on all 110V-120V kitchen appliances and dryers that are gas. it won't work on all electric dryers, they are 220V so it won't work for them.

I'm almost positive that you can use the cord for both 120v 240v I use it on a 120v .its all the way you set up your room if you want to use 240v you just run a heavy gauge wire from your dryer . You might have to switch the pigtail on the cord.but if you do use 240v it cheaper to run the ballest. Hope I can help you .

No, it won't, this is for a 110V lower wattage appliance. True, the plugs for 110V vs 220V appliances are different. This works well for a regular grounded plug/small appliance, but you have to check the watt limit for the plug and the appliance. The thing about a dryer is it is almost always 220V (V for volts), regular small appliances are 110Vs. An electric dryer or stove uses alot of electricity, and it must be plugged into a higher power 220V outlet, this switch works only with lower power 110V appliances and outlets. Confusing, but important...

Josh, Most regular power outlets in your home are going to be 15 or 20 amps.Open your fuse box and see if you have any breakers running at 30 amps other than the 240V for the dryer. Find that outlet and you should be good to go.

I bought a 110v-220v converter on eBay for 9.95 to plug the dryer in and convert it, that's how I managed to use it in the U.K, as I'm in London. Hope this helps. Regards. X

If the hair dryer is rated 220-240volts and it consumes 500watts of power or less, then it will work. Dryers are usually high energy consumers because of their heating elements so I wouldn't recommend you using a dryer on it. It's more suitable for household electronics

Sorry, perhaps I misunderstood your original question. This Y-cord uses a 4-prong plug to connect to the 220v source on a generator. To plug this into your 220v dryer WALL outlet, you would need some kind of adapter to go from the 3-prong dryer female outlet to the 4-prong male Y-cord plug. Such an adapter is not part of this Y-cord product offering.
