20 amp breaker power verse 15amp breaker power?
The 20A breaker can handle (25%) more power than the 15A breaker, because of this the wires used inside the walls is larger. Some circuits must be 20A, the laundry and kitchen are examples of 20A circuits.
What does 20A CB stand for in a car fuse?
20 amp circuit breaker
Do you have a 15 0r 20 amp circuit?
Go to your distribution panel and shut off the breaker that you think is the circuit in question. If the circuit becomes de-energized then the breaker you just turned off feeds that circuit. Look on the handle of the breaker and the number you see is the amperage of that circuit. <<>> Determination of a 15 or 20 Ampere circuit is normally indicated by a combination of a 20A breaker and a 20A dedicated outlet. A 15A circuit normally has multiple outlets; not typical in a 20A circuit.
Can you run a double pole 30 amp breaker to two 110 recepticles?
No, A double pole breaker is going to give you 220 volts. 220 Volts is too much voltage for a 110 Volt outlet to handle. == Answer== Better to pull the duplex 30a and install to single-pole 20a breakers...if one kicks out, you will know which side the problem's on. And there's no problem with running a 20a circuit over 10awg wire.
SMy Breaker box is tripping one of my 20A's How many times can I just reset it before I have to shut it down?
If you have contineous tripping on a breaker then there is a fault on the load of that breaker. Don't reset it any more. What is the breaker connected to?
How many watts will a 20 amp douple pole breaker handle?
The formulae for calculating watts to amps is Watts divided by Voltage. Therefore to get from Amps to Watts the calculation is Amps × Voltage. Therefore if you are working on a 240 volt supply the calculation is 20 (Amps) × 240 (Volts) which = 4800 watts.
What minimum number of 150 W light bulbs must be connected in parallel to a single 240 V household circuit to trip a 20.0 A circuit breaker?
150W = 240 volts * .625Amps. Assuming the 20A breaker trips at exactly 20A, 20/.625 = 32 lights.

How do you replace a 15 amp breaker in the circuit box?
The breaker will have a black wire connected to it. Turn off the main breaker and then disconnect that black wire from the breaker. The breaker will snap into the main bar. Remove the breaker and install the new one. Reconnect the black wire to the breaker and then install the cover and turn the main breaker back on.
What size amp circuit breaker should be used for a geyser?
Depends on how many amps it pulls and the size of the wire in the circuit.
Can a 30A 240V outlet be replaced by a 20A 240V one?
You can, but be advised that whatever you plug into the new outlet should not exceed 5000W capacity (20A x 250V = 5000W)or you could risk overheating the new outlet with serious results. To prevent this, you should make sure the circuit breaker is a 20A also.
Does DTE Energy install breaker boxes?
To the best of my knowledge, DTE dose not install breaker boxes. To have one installed you should contact an electrician.
