When would it be a better idea in a residence to install a GFCI breaker instead of an GFCI outlet?

GFCI Breakers are quite a bit more expensive than a GFCI outlet. More often than not a typical residence will need only a handful of GFCI outlets that combined together will be cheaper than a GFCI breaker.
If you need to protect a series of outlets with GFCI protection you can simply connect the rest of the outlets on that same circuit downstream from the first outlet on the line and make that the GFCI. All you have to do is connect all the other outlets to the LOAD side of the GFCI outlet. If a GFCI fault occurs in any of the outlets down stream they will trip that very first GFCI plug you placed and keep you safe.

Can you install 2 conducters in a cuttler hammer 1 pole 20 amp breaker?
the answer is no period. You will only make this circuit breaker trip more often. you will need to install another 20 amp circuit or install what is called a piggy back circuit breaker. you can may find this at Lowes or Home Depot or better yet take a circuit breaker out of the electrical panel and go to a electrical distributor.

Can you put a 60amp breaker and a 50amp breaker on a 60amp subpanel just as long as they are not being used at the same time?
You can. Using these size breakers in a 60 amp sub panel might be pushing the limit for breaking the sub panels feeder breaker. The breaker feeding the sub panel will have to be no bigger than 60 amps because of the main bus bar capacity of the sub panel. It would be better to install a 100 amp sub panel and then there would be a bit of a buffer and you will have the ability to add additional small load circuits.

What size awg do you need to install a 240v rec on a 50a breaker?
#8. It is better to error on the next large size. # 8 THHN 90 degree wire is rated at 45 amps. If there is a possibility that the breaker is connected to a 50 amp load the wire will be undersized. A #6 wire is rated at 65 amps. For continuous use, a load factor of 80% has to be applied. 65 x .8 = 52 amps. The only time the conductor can be smaller than the breaker size is on a motor feeder. Then the breaker is sized at 250% of the nameplate full load amps (FLA) rating of the motor. This is to allow the motor's starting current, which is about 300% FLA, to not trip the breaker on start up.

Can you run a double pole 30 amp breaker to two 110 recepticles?
No, A double pole breaker is going to give you 220 volts. 220 Volts is too much voltage for a 110 Volt outlet to handle. == Answer== Better to pull the duplex 30a and install to single-pole 20a breakers...if one kicks out, you will know which side the problem's on. And there's no problem with running a 20a circuit over 10awg wire.
Every time you vacuum you blow the breaker in your house can you change the breaker?
