A 30 amp breaker is usually used for a dedicated 30 amp device. Ordinary 15 amp receptacles can not be connected to a breaker of higher trip capacity than the rating of the receptacle. The wire size for a 30 amp breaker is #10 AWG.

A 30 amp breaker would only be used for a specific application such as a clothes. It would be against code to install a string of regular AC outlets (120VAC) in any situation. A/C outlets for regular use can be on 15amp or 20 amp lines w/15 or 20 amp breakers. Don't Do It.

Generally speaking--zero. 30amp circuits are usually for special use, dedicated,

one appliance circuits. Normal outlets in U.S. are not rated for 30 amps. Normal

outlets on a 30amp circuit would be a fire hazard.

You should not run outlets in a home on a 30 amp breaker unless the wiring is 10/2 wiring which is not likely. A home uses either 12/2 wire which requires a 20 amp breaker or 14/2 which requires a 15 amp breaker. If this is in a garage with 10/2 wire and a 30 amp breaker you can easily install a combination of 15 outlets and lights. Really it is the load that counts and not the number of outlets or lights. Add up the load and you will know how many you can install.
