Can you use a double pole 15 amp breaker in place of a 20 amp single pole breaker for a 12000 BTU air conditioner?
If the 12,000 BTU A/C only requires 20 amps to run then yes you can use the same 12 gauge wire but you cannot change it to a 15 amp breaker. You will need to install a 20 amp double pole breaker. If it requires more than 20 amps you will have to replace the wiring and breaker.

How many watts will a 30 amp two pole breaker handle?
A two pole breaker clips to adjacent buss in the breaker panel, supplies 240 volt power to equipnent like clothes dryers and air conditoning.The breakers have a mechanical common trip so if either pole exceeds its current rating both lines are opened shutting down the equipment.Each pole can carry up to its rated current of 30 amps.Hope this helps.
