Will flipping a breaker on and off damage a stove?
No, it will not harm the stove.
Is there such a thing as a 240V switch because you need to run a dryer and cooktop-stove and only have one 240V line in your old condo building?
All 220 volt appliances must be on a dedicated circuit. The dryer will need to be on one circuit and the stove on another. You will need to run a dedicated wire from the fuse panel to the appliance you want to add, with a dedicated breaker. Anything else is a violation of code and a fire hazard. The larger question is whether the fuse/breaker panel even has enough capacity to support both appliances running simultaneously. A stove and a dryer each draw a lot of power. Combined, they could overload an old system. You may need to rewire the panel all the way back to where the building connects to the power company. Maybe your condo neighbors would all like to have their power panels rewired and upgraded at the same time!
Why does your dryer keep tripping the circuit breaker?
Electric dryers typically are 220 volts and need a 30 amp, 2-pole circuit breaker. A 15 amp breaker would quickly trip if overloaded with a dryer. You may need a wiring upgrade (to 10 gauge) and a new 2-pole breaker for 30 Amps. You should also not be using two separate breakers for one 220 volt circuit; they should be either one unit or two that have their handles mechanically connected together. Hire an electrician.
Can you hook up a 4800 watt construction heater to a 40 amp stove outlet?
If you are using typical residential voltages ( 120v/240v) a 40 amp breaker is plenty big enough. You could even use a twenty amp breaker.
Size of breaker for 5.4 kilowatt stove?
The sizing of a breaker is based on the amperage that the device draws. To obtain the amperage from kilowatts a voltage must be stated. Amps = Watts/Volts. The following values are based on the stove using a supply voltage of 240 volts. Amps = 5400/240 = 22.5 amps. The breaker required for this stove will have a 30 amp rating. The feeder supplying the voltage to the stove will be a #10 AWG.
Where is heat usually used?
on the stove, oven microwave, a heater, the sun, and dryer
Which outlets will need 240 voltage lines?
A stove, dryer, water heater, furnace, heat pump.
Which breaker is for the hot water heater inside the panel box?
There is no way of telling from here. It will be a double breaker, most boxes will have 3 doubles. One for the stove, one for the AC and one for the water heater. Process of elimination should tell you which is for the heater.
Can you use a 60 amp breaker for a electric stove?
If this is the main service in your home then you probably could not run both appliances at the same time. A range has a 40 amp breaker and a dryer has a 30 amp breaker protecting the feeders to these appliances. Even though both appliances do not draw the maximum current that the breaker allows it would be close. With other devices in use through out the home with the range and dryer on at the same time it will probably trip the panels 60 amp breaker.

What size circuit breaker for a stove?
that would really depend upon the stove (I assume that you mean an appliance with an electric cooktop and an electric oven) and the size of the wire present. Most of the time a stove will require a 50amp breaker. This will mean that you would need to have 6 gauge wiring. You can probably get by with a 40 amp breaker and 8 gauge wire if you absolutely had to. Always check the appliance specifications. they will recommend a breaker size.
Who invented the clothes dryer that used heat from a stove?
