If it is a 30 amp breaker then it is a 240 volt outlet.
Is a double throw 15amp breaker the same as a 30 amp breaker amp?
You have a double pole breaker for 240Volt supply. The maximum current is 15 amp.
Can you replace a 20 amp circuit breaker with a 25 amp circuit breaker?
No. The breaker must protect the circuit components such as wiring, outlets and switches that are connected to the breaker. Therefore if you have a 30 amp circuit as dictated by its components you need to protect it with a 30 amp or less breaker.
Should 25 amps breaker be replaced by 20 amps?
For typical residential house wiring 12 AWG wire is required for a 20 Amp breaker. If you change out the breaker for a 25 A breaker you would have to rewire the circuit with 10 AWG. In that case you could up the breaker to 30 Amps. All outlets and switches should be rated at the same voltage and current as the breaker.
What is type of breaker for 41 amp's?
50 amp breaker.
If you have a 100-amp breaker box on the pole with a 100-amp breaker going to your house and you get a hot tub that needs a 60-amp GFI breaker would that overload the box?
That's pushing it but it can work. It depends if you have central A/C, electric range, water heater, etc. Those are your amp suckers. You'll need to be mindful when operating the hot tub; not running the dryer, oven, or other large appliances.

Can you use a 30 amp breaker for a stove?
The breaker commonly used for ranges is a 40 amp. This size is used to cover the total wattage of the range. If for some reason all of the top elements and the oven were in use at the same time then the amperage drawn would be just under the trip setting of the breaker. If this same scenario were played out on the range with a 30 amp breaker supplying the power it would trip the breaker.
Can a 3 phase 220 volt machine that usually plugs into a line with a twenty amp breaker can a thirty amp breaker be used instead?
No, you should not install a 30 amp circuit breaker to a machine which normally requires a 20 amp supply. The circuit breaker is protecting the wire to the machine. That wire is likely only rated for 20 amps, (# 12 awg). Therefore, a 30 amp breaker could allow too much current to go through the wiring to the machine and cause the wire to burn down. Replace the 3 phase 20 amp breaker with the same amperage breaker.
Can you use a 60 amp breaker with a 50 amp overcurrent device?
A 50 amp breaker is an overcurent device.
