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.
What amp breaker for 12-2?
AWG 12/2 requires the use of a 20 amp single pole breaker.
Can a double pole circuit breaker be used for 2 different circuits I have a 20 amp double pole breaker want 2 circuits running 14 gauge wire?
can a 20 amp double pole circuit breaker be used for 2 different 120 v circuits using 14 - 2 wire
What are the standard size circuit breaker amperages?
In North America the standard sizes for breakers are 15, 20, 30, and 40 amps. The 15 amp size breaker is used in general circuit wiring. The 20 amp size breaker is used for dedicated appliance receptacles, hot water tank and baseboard heating. The 30 amp size breaker is used for a clothes dryer. The 40 amp size breaker is used for the electric range.
What circuit breaker will interchange with American Switch Company?
Replacement for American Switch single pole 15 amp circuit breaker
Can you use two 15 amp single pole breakers in place of a double pole 30 amp breaker?
No, you cannot use two separate 15 amp single pole breakers in place of a double pole 30 amp breaker. A double pole breaker is designed to simultaneously disconnect both circuit conductors, whereas using two single pole breakers would not provide the necessary protection for the circuit. It is important to use the correct size and type of breaker as specified by the electrical code for safety and functionality.
How many 15 amp receptacles can you put on a 15 amp breaker?
You can typically install multiple 15 amp receptacles on a 15 amp breaker, but the exact number will depend on the specific electrical code regulations in your area and the overall electrical load on the circuit. It's important to ensure that the total load does not exceed the capacity of the breaker to prevent overloading and potential safety hazards.
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.
Have 30 amp double pole need 15 amp 120v?
You can use a 15 amp single pole breaker to convert your 30 amp double pole breaker to 15 amp 120v. Simply replace the 30 amp breaker with the 15 amp breaker in the circuit breaker panel. Make sure to match the wire size in the circuit with the appropriate amperage rating of the new breaker.
What amp breaker for 12-2?
AWG 12/2 requires the use of a 20 amp single pole breaker.
Can a 20 amp circuit breaker operate two 15 amp receptacle?
It is perfectly acceptable to have (2) 120 volt 15 amp receptacles operated from a 120 volt 20 amp circuit breaker (as a general rule of thumb 11 receptacles are acceptable on a 20 amp circuit). The 15 amp rating of the receptacle is the maximum allowed amperage that should be hooked up to the receptacle at any one time. So in this case the limiting factor is the amount of current being drawn across both receptacles simultaneously should not exceed the 20 amp rating of the circuit breaker. In the United States the NEC code allows the use of a 20 amp circuit breaker to feed a branch circuit consisting of 15 amp receptacles. Generally you would not exceed 11 receptacles though as you will assume an average load of 1.5 amps per receptacle and trying to maintain about 80% max load.
Is a 2 pole 30 amp circuit breaker equivalent to 30 amp?
Yes.
Can you use a double pole 15 amp breaker in place of a 20 amp single pole breaker for a 12000 BTU air conditioner?
No, it is not safe to use a double pole 15 amp breaker in place of a 20 amp single pole breaker for a 12000 BTU air conditioner. The breaker size must match the electrical requirements of the appliance to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. It is recommended to consult with a qualified electrician to ensure the proper breaker is used.
How many watts will a 30 amp two pole breaker handle at 240 volts?
30X240=7200
What type of appliance would be use a two pole 50 amp breaker?
In North America this size breaker could be used on a welding machine. A range in the home would use a 40 amp two pole breaker.
Does a double 50 amp breaker make a 100 amp?
No, a double pole 50 amp breaker protects a 240 volt supply at 50 amps. The number that is on the handle of the breaker is the amperage that the breaker will trip at if an overload occurs on the circuit.
What is breaker size for 240 volt 9 KW?
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E.
