It depends on the type pf panel. Some panels allow for half sized tandem breakers and some do not. It all depends on the busbar in the panel in relation to the part of the breaker that snaps/bolts on the bus. My advice would be to try it and if the breaker will snap/bolt on the bus you are good to go.... even better yet ...call an electrician...we work hard to learn the methods and codes in order to provide safe electricity in homes and buisnesses and for someone to just go online and try to do something themselves in order to save a few bucks is not cool and really just downright dangerous if you dont know what you are doing.

Will siemens breakers pass inspection on gould panel box?
As long as the breakers are made to fit the box, there shouldn't be a problem. you can only use breakers listed for the panel, there should be a label on the panel door. It will list all of the breakers approved for use in that panel. If you don't see the breaker by manufacturer name listed, then it should not be used. Lots of brands will interchange, but they have to be listed to be approved.
Are cutler hammer breakers interchangeable with American switch breakers?
Your circuit box should have a label on the door listing compatable breakers. For instance, my American Switch 200 amp panel lists what American Switch breakers are usable on that particular panel, and then it goes on to list other manufacturers whose breakers will work in the panel. Mine can use Frank Adam Type A, FA-D, QP & QPH, Bryant Type BR-D and BD breakers as well as Westinghouse Type QP and Q. I am not sure that I would go with the adage that if it fits use it. Check your Panel Box for the tag listing compatible breakers.

How do you hook up a 15 amp breaker to a 60 amp box?
If by "60 amp box" you mean a 60-amp service panel (circuit breakers or fuses), you would generally get a 60-A panel that has several slots designed to accept a variety of compatible breakers, from 15A to 60A. If you have a "box" with no breakers, you would need another "subpanel", with wires from the 60A box to the new subpanel, and install one or more 15A breakers in the subpanel. If you don't need more than one breaker, you might also simply use a 15A disconnect panel with a single breaker in it.
