Most clothes dryers in the United States use a higher voltage plug than a regular 110-volt plug. A standard household electrical outlet in the U.S. is a 120-volt, 15-amp outlet (NEMA 5-15R), commonly referred to as a "regular" or "standard" outlet. However, clothes dryers require more power to generate the necessary heat to dry the laundry efficiently, so they typically use a 240-volt plug.
The most common plug type for clothes dryers in the U.S. is a NEMA 14-30P plug. This type of plug has two flat blades and a grounding pin. It's designed to fit into a NEMA 14-30R receptacle, which is a 240-volt, 30-amp outlet.
It's essential to have the correct electrical setup for your clothes dryer to operate safely and efficiently. If you are unsure about the electrical requirements for your specific dryer model, refer to the manufacturer's specifications or consult a qualified electrician to ensure that your dryer is connected properly and meets all safety standards.
