Why do we need a neutral in a 4 wires, 30amp, 240v?
I have two appliances: one is old dryer which does not have a neutral, only 3 wires, black, red, and green; another one is a new oven which have 4 wire 30amp 240v. I want to know it is very important to have the neutral. I know it is in 120v. Can anyone help me with it? Thanks!!

Really, I talked to someone from an appliance store here. He said I needed four and 240v. But I am not very sure what in general a neutral is for in a 240v where there are three service entrance condutors, two hot wires and one white wire . I know a neutral is a return in a 120v. But how about in 240v? Thanks
