Can you run a 3200 watt oven on a 20 amp breaker?

a 220 volt, 3200 watt oven will draw under 15 amps, so yes a 2o amp breaker will work.


How many volts can you draw off of a 15amp breaker?

It's the amps that are controlled by the breaker not the volts. You can have a 600 volt 15 amp breaker, you can have a 347 volt 15 amp breaker. The breaker will trip when you exceed 15 AMPS.


How do I know if I have a 30 amp breaker at my house to plug a trailer into?

If it is a 30 amp breaker then it is a 240 volt outlet.


What size breaker is used for a 220 volt for a stove?

50 amp with AWG # 6 wire is normal. Read the instructions that came with the stove to make sure.


How many amps does a 220 ac use?

There is no standard Amperage for a 220 volt outlet. It all depends on the wires/conductors used to supply the outlet and the breaker that protects it. You can have an outlet with: 15 amp, 220 volt 20 amp, 220 volt And so on.....


Can you hook up a 4800 watt construction heater to a 40 amp stove outlet?

If you are using typical residential voltages ( 120v/240v) a 40 amp breaker is plenty big enough. You could even use a twenty amp breaker.


Can you use a 60 amp breaker for a airconditioner with heat instead of two thirty amp breakers?

No. If your AC is currently running on a 30 amp 2 pole breaker, then it is a 220 volt unit. You cannot substitute one 60 amp single pole breaker as you'll only be supplying 110 volts and the AC unit won't work. In fact you could damage it.


What amp breaker for a 220 volt 8000 watt sauna?

A sauna heating element is a resistive load. The equation that you are looking for is Amps = Watts/Volts = 8000/220 = 36 amps. A #8 copper conductor with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 55 amps. This will be fed with 40 amp two pole breaker.


What size wire do you use to install a 40 amp breaker for a 2amp pool pump?

I think you mean 2 HP pump. I am assuming a 220 To 240 volt supply and that should equate to about a 12 amp current. All my pumps use only a 30 amp breaker and 10 AWG wire.


Does a double 30 amp breaker mean you have 60 amps for a 220 outlet?

breakers are rated by wire size, not voltage. the appliance manufacturer will probably specify amperage.


Can a 3 phase 220 volt machine that usually plugs into a line with a twenty amp breaker can a thirty amp breaker be used instead?

No, you should not install a 30 amp circuit breaker to a machine which normally requires a 20 amp supply. The circuit breaker is protecting the wire to the machine. That wire is likely only rated for 20 amps, (# 12 awg). Therefore, a 30 amp breaker could allow too much current to go through the wiring to the machine and cause the wire to burn down. Replace the 3 phase 20 amp breaker with the same amperage breaker.
