Normal household outlets are usually ran with a 15amp breaker.

Multiply that by 120 and that gives you your max capacity for that outlet.

15x120=1800watt capacity

When running continuous power(such as a light) code states you must only run that outlet at 80% capacity.

1800x.8=1440watt capacity

Cloth dryer outlets usually use 20-30amp

Hope that helps somewhat. I just ran a 30amp outlet to one of my rooms. Easy as hell.

[edit] check each breaker in your box to figure out what oulets go to what breaker.
