At the service panel (breaker box) you'll need a double-pole breaker rated for the dryer (probably 30 amp) and run two "hot" wires (red & black) using 10/3 w/ground cable. The neutral (white) and ground (bare) are just like standard 120V connections.
You should put in a separate circuit back to the breaker panel.
Don't try to run two dryers from the same circuit because, even if the breakers protecting the circuit don't trip (which they may or may not do, depending on the total current taken if both dryers were operating) the two dryers could easily overload the wiring and it could cause a house fire hazard.
ALWAYS CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL WIRING SAFETY OFFICE BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO CHANGE ANYTHING
- BREAKERS, CABLES OR OUTLETS -
ON ANY ELECTRICAL POWER CIRCUITS
IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB
SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY
REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power
at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work
AND
always use an electricians test meter having metal-tipped probes
(not a simple proximity voltage indicator)
to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

An electric clothes dryer demands 22A from a 240V outlet at approximately 90% Power Factor. The power demand on the outlet should be about 240V x 22A x 0.9 = 4.75 kW. The active components in an electric clothes dryer are the heating element (100% PF) and the electric motor that turns the tumbler (70-80% PF). The formula you are looking for is W = I x E. (W is watts, I is current in amps, E is volts)
yes ofcourse they both are the same
In some parts of the world, an 1875 watt hair dryer can and does use 220 volts from a 220 volt outlet?
Chances are there is more than 1 outlet connected to the 110volt circuit you are looking to convert. So therefore the easy answer is No. The 240volt dryer circuit must be a dedicated single circuit for the dryer only.
Don't understand this question. If the breaker is on, then the dryer would function normally, if the breaker your are referring to is the one for the dryer. If the breaker is off then no function. A dryer runs on 220.

In North America, the standard is 240V, 60Hz.

Disregard the neutral
In some parts of the world, an 1875 watt hair dryer can and does use 220 volts from a 220 volt outlet?
watts = volts X amps, so: 15A X 240V = 3600 watts
Chances are there is more than 1 outlet connected to the 110volt circuit you are looking to convert. So therefore the easy answer is No. The 240volt dryer circuit must be a dedicated single circuit for the dryer only.
Only if you wanted to fry your hair.for God sake(and yours)buy a new cord to hook up your dryer

No.
No you can only have one dryer on a 240v circuit and nothing else can be attached to it either considering your using a 240v electric dryer
