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.

What breaker do you use for 10 2 wire?
Use a 30 amp breaker.
What size breaker can you use on a 7500watt generator?
Depends on the wire size you are using. If the generator breaker is a 30 amp then install a 30 amp breaker.
What size wire for 75 feet of wire for a 30 amp 220 volt oven?
A 30 amp breaker run 75 feet would require you use AWG #10 wire. But, an oven normally pulls more that 30 amps and I would not use #10 wire on a 30 amp breaker for an oven. Normally any newer oven is wired with AWG #6 gauge wire on a 50 amp circuit breaker so the breaker will not trip during heavy use of the oven. Some older ovens could use a #8 wire on a 40 amp breaker.
Is a double throw 15amp breaker the same as a 30 amp breaker amp?
You have a double pole breaker for 240Volt supply. The maximum current is 15 amp.
Should 25 amps breaker be replaced by 20 amps?
For typical residential house wiring 12 AWG wire is required for a 20 Amp breaker. If you change out the breaker for a 25 A breaker you would have to rewire the circuit with 10 AWG. In that case you could up the breaker to 30 Amps. All outlets and switches should be rated at the same voltage and current as the breaker.
Have 110volt refrigerator on a 30 amp breaker is that right?
No, a 110-volt refrigerator on a 30 amp breaker is not correct. A typical home refrigerator operates on a 15-20 amp circuit. A 30 amp breaker is typically used for larger appliances or equipment that require more power. Plugging a refrigerator into a 30 amp breaker may pose a safety hazard.
What breaker do you use for 10 2 wire?
Use a 30 amp breaker.
What size breaker can you use on a 7500watt generator?
Depends on the wire size you are using. If the generator breaker is a 30 amp then install a 30 amp breaker.
How do you turn a 30 amp circuit into a 15 amp cicuit?
Replace the 30 Amp Breaker with a 15 Amp breaker.
Is the 30 amp breaker for a motorhome the same as for a house?
Yes, a 30 amp breaker is a 30 amp breaker. It must however be able to fit the box it is installed in.
Can you use a 20 amp circuit breaker for an electric dryer?
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.
What size wire for 75 feet of wire for a 30 amp 220 volt oven?
A 30 amp breaker run 75 feet would require you use AWG #10 wire. But, an oven normally pulls more that 30 amps and I would not use #10 wire on a 30 amp breaker for an oven. Normally any newer oven is wired with AWG #6 gauge wire on a 50 amp circuit breaker so the breaker will not trip during heavy use of the oven. Some older ovens could use a #8 wire on a 40 amp breaker.
Can you use 10 gauge wire to connect a 2 15 amp outlets to a 30 amp breaker?
No, it is not safe to use 10 gauge wire with a 30 amp breaker as the wire is not rated for that high of a current. It is important to use the correct wire gauge that matches the breaker amperage to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. For a 30 amp breaker, you should use at least 10 gauge wire.
How do I know if I have a 30 amp breaker at my house to plug a trailer into?
If it is a 30 amp breaker then it is a 240 volt outlet.
Can I use 10 gauge wire with a 30 amp dryer?
No, you should not use 10 gauge wire with a 30 amp dryer. A 30 amp dryer requires a minimum of 10 gauge wire, but it is recommended to use 8 gauge wire to ensure safety and to meet electrical code requirements. Using 10 gauge wire may cause overheating and pose a fire hazard.
Is a 40 amp circuit breaker ok for a 30 amp air conditioner?
No, it is not recommended to have a circuit breaker with a higher amperage rating than the device it is protecting. In this case, you should use a 30 amp circuit breaker for a 30 amp air conditioner to ensure proper protection from overcurrent.
How big of breaker do you use for 115 volt?
Depends on the wire size used in the circuit. If you use AWG # 14 wire you must use a 15 amp breaker. If it is wired with AWG # 12 wire then you use a 20 amp breaker. If a AWG # 10 wire is used then a 30 amp breaker is required. The breaker protects the wiring from overheating so you must use the proper size breaker for the wire used.
