10 amps
If it is a 30 amp breaker then it is a 240 volt outlet.
A 30 amp breaker is designed to trip at an earlier point than a larger 40 amp breaker so one appliance that operates on lower amperage level could be unsafe or damaged before it could trip the higher 40 amp breaker. Also, the existing wiring may not be rated for 40 amp service.
If you are referring to a cloths dryer, the answer depends on the requirements of the dryer. Most dryers require AWG#10 wire with a 30 amp fuse. If the wiring is AWG#12 then use a 20 amp breaker but never use it on AWG#10 which requires a 30 amp breaker. If you are referring to a hair dryer then yes a 20 amp breaker is fine.
No. The two appliances usually have dedicated circuits. The range will have a two pole 40 amp breaker and be fed with a 3-C #8 copper cable. The dryer will have a 30 amp two pole breaker and be fed with a 3-C # 10 copper cable. As you can see by powering a 40 amp device from a 30 amp breaker, full operation of the range will trip the 30 amp breaker.
No there are no adapters made for these types of installations. The reason there are no adapters is to provide a factor of safety. To plug a 30 amp plug into a 50 amp receptacle could allow 50 amps to be applied to a 30 amp rated cord. The 50 amp receptacle is more than likely being fed by a 40 amp breaker. Just change the plug cord to match the ampacity of the breaker ahead of the 50 amp receptacle. Or change the 50 amp receptacle and 40 amp breaker to a 30 amp breaker and use your existing cord plug.
Replace the 30 Amp Breaker with a 15 Amp breaker.
Yes, a 30 amp breaker is a 30 amp breaker. It must however be able to fit the box it is installed in.
If it is a 30 amp breaker then it is a 240 volt outlet.
Depends on the wire size you are using. If the generator breaker is a 30 amp then install a 30 amp breaker.
10 AWG.
Yes, all breakers have an insulation factor as to the maximum amount of voltage the device can be subjected to. A 208 volt breaker has a maximum up to and including 240 volts. A 480 volt breaker has a maximum up to and including 600 volts. A higher voltage rating breaker can be used on lower voltages but not the other way around.
You have a double pole breaker for 240Volt supply. The maximum current is 15 amp.
Yes.
Use a 30 amp breaker.
30 amp breaker with #10 gauge copper wire
Not unless the wire going to the refrigerator outlet is AWG 10/2. If it is wired with 12/2 wire then you must use a 20 amp breaker. Using a 30 amp breaker is dangerous and a fire hazard.
yes, you can attach. but if the current through the line i.e. through the breaker exceeds 20 amp the breaker will trip. As long as the line carries 20 amp or less there is no problem.
