No, you cannot use a 480V breaker with a 208V system. Breakers are designed to protect specific voltage systems, and using the wrong voltage breaker can result in damage to your equipment and pose safety risks. Always use breakers rated for the specific voltage of your electrical system.
You will need a multimeter to check a 220 volt breaker. You should unplug appliances that go to that particular breaker. Use the multimeter at the breaker to check the voltage. If it shows 220, then the breaker is okay. If it doesn't, then the breaker is no good.
Yes. It is best to run a line from main breaker box to a separate 220V box with it's own breaker. You will need a licensed electrician to install if you are'NT comfortable doing this type of installation yourself.
16A
On a 15 amp breaker, you can draw up to 120 volts in a standard residential circuit. The voltage remains constant at 120 volts, but the amperage capacity is what is limited by the 15 amp breaker.
240 volts maximum.
You could but is it a total waste of money and is overkill. Use 12/2 with ground on all 120 volt outlets and light switches.
6000amps <<>> The above answer must have big lugs to accommodate 6000 amp capacity wire. In my breaker catalogue the largest 120 volt single pole breaker is 70 amps, 277 volt single pole is 150 amps and 347 volt single pole is 100 amps. The 120 volt single pole breaker occupies two opposed slots because of its length.
Yes, you can use a 15 amp 115 volt device in a standard outlet, as most standard outlets in the US are rated for 15 amps at 120 volts. However, it's always important to check that your device's electrical requirements match the outlet's specifications to ensure safe operation.
On most residential circuit breaker boxes in North America, each individual breaker represents one 120-volt circuit. Two breakers ganged together represent a 240-volt circuit.
If it is a 30 amp breaker then it is a 240 volt outlet.
