This formula will give you the amperage I = kw x 1000/1.73 x E x pf (pf = power factor). Take the amperage and multiply it by 125%. This will give you the breaker size that you need.

Why do you need a 125 amp breaker for a 83 amp furnace?
If you put a 85 amp breaker in there it will overheat from the starting and stopping of the motor. The extra size of the breaker insures that the furnace will run without interruption and without overheating the breaker. And electric motor can draw three times the amperage rated on start up momentarily. This is why there is need of extra amperage ratings.
What does the lights on the GFCI outlet mean?
It means the breaker has been tripped. There are two possible ways to reset it - some have a button on the outlet (there may be several outlets on one circuit, so you may have to look around) the other is the main breaker in your breaker box. You'll need to find a reset the breaker.

What is the formula to convert amperes from 440V to 460V?
For the same power - Watts - you need to run twice as many amps at 220V than at 440V. For the same load, it'll pull half the amps at 220V than it did on 440V
