    40 Amps at 220 ( a guess) is about 8.8 kW, so you would need a 10 KW or larger transformer, although not likely this one: VoltageConverters.com - 10,000 Watt Step Up / Down Transformer.

    Nonetheless, it gives you an idea of the cost.

    Best bet, investigate getting a propane/LPG dryer and tank installed.
