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 many watts can be on a 15amp breaker?
At 120 volts a 15 amp breaker can be loaded to 1800 watts before it will trip. If it is a continuous load then the electrical code states that it is only allowed to be loaded to 80%. This will be 1800 x .8 = 1440 watts. If the voltage is not 120 volts use the following equation Watts = Amps x Volts. Amps being the breaker size that is to be used.
How many 110 volts can be ran on one breaker?
One breaker in the North American electrical system will supply 110 volts. Two adjacent tied breakers will produce 220 volts.
How many pole breaker for air condition?
If the power requirement is 120 volts it will be connected to a single pole breaker rated at the amperage requirement of the air conditioner. If the voltage of the air conditioner is 240 volts, then a two pole breaker will be required.
How many amp breaker is needed for 4000 watts at 220 volts?
The equation that you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts / Volts.
How much electricity can run on 15amp breaker?
Since baseboard heaters come in many different wattages vs. lengths I guess the best answer would be, you can load up to 2880 watts of baseboard heaters on a 15 amp two pole breaker at 240 volts.
How many 50 watt lights on a 15 amp circuit?
50 watt equals less than 1/2 amp current flow at 120 volts so you can have 30 light on a 15amp breaker or 40 on a twenty amp breaker.

How many volts can b drawn off a 240 volt breaker?
240 volts maximum.

How many amps does a 2x4' lay-in fixture draw at 277 volts?
Check the current draw that is on the label of the ballast.
The voltage in one part of the house drops and in another part surges also lights dim here brighten there heaters etc won't work Other times all is fine When it occurs its on all circuits Help?
Does it surge past 120?? Drops are due too the fact that there are too many outlets or devices on one line. Trace the line that you have a voltage drop in and find which breaker it is, if the line that comes off the breaker is a 12 gauge wire and the breaker is a 15amp breaker you can put in a 20amp breaker. If the line is a 14 gauge line then you must leave the 15amp breaker in place and remove a device from it.
How many watts will a 30 amp two pole breaker handle at 240 volts?
30X240=7200
How many watts does a 16 amp appliance draw at 115 volts?
1840
How many amps does a 60 hp 460 volt motor draw?
750 watts per horse power20 x 750 = 15,000 watts / 220V = 68A68 amps at 220 volts
