The Stiebel Eltron Tempra 24 requires two (quatity 2) 60 amp double-pole breakers. Two hot wires are needed per breaker, for a total of 4 hot wires. Only one ground wire is necessary. Recommended wire size is 6 AWG. However, local building codes should be observed to make sure your installation is up to local code. A neutral wire is not used for installing any of the Tempra tankless water heaters because it runs solely on 220/240v. The neutral wire is needed for appliances that need 120v AND 220/240v to operate. For example, an electric stove needs 120v to run the clock or timer, and 240v to run the cooking elements. Simply run the 4 hot wires from you breakers to the Tempra 24 and make the connections as per the diagram on the link below: http://www.titanheater.com/proddetail.php?prod=Tempra-24 It is that simple. Just make sure you have suffient electrical service to handle this unit. IMPORTANT: Any project that involves electricity can be dangerous. This is a job for a professional. If you do not feel capable of carrying out this task please let a professional complete the task. Make sure all power at the breakers/electric panel is turned off/disconnected before doing any work.

Can double pole circuit breakers be changed into single to create more room in the pannel box?

Yes. The double pole breaker can be removed and replaced with two single pole breakers. The double pole breakers are only used for 240 volt supply loads.


Where do you use double pole circuit breakers?

For 220v circuits


What breakers are compatible with ge breaker boxes?

GE circuit breakers with catalog numbers ranging from THQL1115 through to THQL1150 can be substituted like for like with Cutler-Hammer circuit breakers coded CL115 through to CL150, ITE Siemens circuit breakers coded Q115 through to Q150 and Square D circuit breakers coded HOM115 through to HOM150. These are single pole breakers. GE circuit breakers with catalog codes from THQL2115 through to THQL2150 can be substituted with Cutler-Hammer circuit breakers CL215 through to CL250, Square D circuit breakers HOM215 through to HOM250 and ITE Siemens circuit breakers Q215 through to Q250 of the same amperage and voltage. These are double pole breakers.

What does a circuit breaker look like for 110 volt?

Most of the breakers in a panel will be 120 VAC. Double height breakers are 240 VAC. A triple height breaker probably indicates you have 3-phase power in the panel.

Can a 220 VAC breaker be single pole or does it have to always be a double pole breaker?

U.S. 240 VAC breakers are always double pole since they are protecting two legs of the circuit.


How do you change one breaker on a 3 wire that feeds two regular circuit breakers to a single arc fault circuit breaker - or do you have to change both breakers to arc fault so each has a neutral?

You can't change the one breaker, but you can't use two separate arc fault breakers unless you separate the neutrals. However double pole arc fault breakers are made for this purpose and the common neutral would be O.K.


If you have spare fuses but they are not together how can you run a new 240V line?

Move things around until you have space for a double-pole breaker, which is required for 240V. Don't be stupid and connect 2 separate breakers in non-adjacent positions. It might work, and then again it might fry something too.


What kind of breakers are used in Heating and AC?

Can be 30, 40, or 50 Amp 240 volt double pole depending on the HVAC specs.


Why would a dryer in Canada run off of 2 single pole 15 A breakers without tripping and dry clothes perfectly?

My mistake. They are single pole 30 amp breakers. Probably should replace with a double pole. Sorry for any incovenience to this forum. d
