Can two 225 amp panels be fed from a 400 amp breaker?
Yes, but they obviously cannot be simultaneously loaded their maximum loads because the 400-amp breaker will blow well before that. Similarly, you can have multiple 100-amp panels fed from a 200-Amp main breaker, knowing that you will NEVER have 100 amps running in all panels at the same time.
What does it mean when you have two 30 amp breakers linked together?
Two single-pole 30 amp breakers tied together make a two-pole 30 amp breaker. From this you can power a device that requires 220-240 volts, typically.
What size breaker do you need for two 60W bulbes 110 volts?
It is not the number of bulbs that you worry about. It is the wire size that is your concern. If the circuit is wired with AWG 12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. If it is wired with a AWG 14/2 wire then use a 15 amp breaker. You are protecting the wiring with the correct size breaker.
Do they make a 30-40 amp two pole breaker compatible with a square d breaker?
No, if you have a Square D distribution panel only Square D breakers will fit in it.
Adding a 220 line to panel box for a dryer?
A dryer requires a 30 amp receptacle. This will be to receive a four blade dryer plug. The wire needed will be a three copper wire #10 cable set with a bare #14 copper ground wire. The breaker will be a two pole 30 amp breaker.
Can you change a 250v 15 amp breaker with a 115v15 amp breaker?
No, it would not be safe because 250v is too high for that breaker. <<>> In North America all household breakers are rated at 120/240 volts. A 250 volt 15 amp breaker would would be a two pole breaker and take up two slots in the distribution panel. This can be pulled out and replaced with two separate 15 amp breakers or one 15 amp breaker and a slot panel filler to cover the second slot.
What is breaker size for 240 volt 9 KW?
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E.
Can an electric range be powered from the same circuit as an electric dyer?
No. The two appliances usually have dedicated circuits. The range will have a two pole 40 amp breaker and be fed with a 3-C #8 copper cable. The dryer will have a 30 amp two pole breaker and be fed with a 3-C # 10 copper cable. As you can see by powering a 40 amp device from a 30 amp breaker, full operation of the range will trip the 30 amp breaker.
Can you run a 1000 watts light bulb with a 20 amp breaker 120v?
Yes, considering you can do that on 15 amp breaker easy.Experience in construction field. The worst that will happen is that the breaker will trip off after a few minutes.In the formula W = A x V. W = 20 x 120 = 2400 watts. If you want you can operate two 1000 watt lamps from a 20 amp breaker operating on 120 volts.
What type of appliance would be use a two pole 50 amp breaker?
In North America this size breaker could be used on a welding machine. A range in the home would use a 40 amp two pole breaker.
Can you use two 15 amp single pole breakers in place of a double pole 30 amp breaker?
Yes. An everyday occurrence of this circuitry is in your kitchen counter split receptacles. The top half of the receptacle is a 15 amp circuit and from the same breaker the bottom half of the receptacle is another 15 amp circuit. A two pole single handle breaker is a common trip. If one of the circuits fed from the breaker faults the other connected circuit will shut off also. If you are talking about slot position in a breaker panel, you can remove the two pole breaker and install two single pole breakers.
Can a 100 amp main have 2 50 amp breakers?
Yes.Additional InformationBreakers and fuses protect the wires to prevent fire. The 100 Amp breaker in the meter base (main) protects the wire from the meter base to the breaker panel. The 50 Amp breaker in the breaker panel protects the wire from the breaker panel to the outlet. Sometimes the 100 amp main breaker is located in the panel.If you are asking "Can you use two 50 amp breakers for the main breakers with a 100 amp service, then yes you can. The National Electrical Code allows you to use up to 6 breakers as the main overcurrent protection.
How do you get four twenty amp circuits from two twenty amp circuits?
Remove the two twenty amp breakers from the regular size slot and install two mini amp breakers. A mini amp breaker has two breakers per regular size slot.
Can two 225 amp panels be fed from a 400 amp breaker?
Yes, but they obviously cannot be simultaneously loaded their maximum loads because the 400-amp breaker will blow well before that. Similarly, you can have multiple 100-amp panels fed from a 200-Amp main breaker, knowing that you will NEVER have 100 amps running in all panels at the same time.
What size breaker is needed for 208 volts 6 amps using Ohm's law?
20 amp In North America code states a two pole 15 amp breaker will do the job.
How many 1000 watt 120 volt 8.3 amp lights can you plug into a standard household outlet?
Household circuits come in two flavors, 15 amp and 20 amp. Check the circuit breaker or fuse in your panel to see which one your outlet is wired to. If the outlet is on a 15 amp circuit, you could only run one, but if you have a 20 amp circuit, you could get away with two, assuming there are no other appliances plugged into the same circuit. The electrical code says circuits should be loaded to no more than 80% of the breaker's rating. for a 20 amp breaker, that works out to 16 amps. Your two lamps would draw 16.6 amps, so you would be right at the limit.
How big of a circuit breaker needed for two 1500 watt that are 240 volts?
A 30 amp breaker wired with AWG #10 wire.
