The breaker you use is determined by the size of the wire in the wall not by what is being connected to that circuit. If you have 14/2 wire then use a 15 amp breaker. If you have 12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. The breaker protects the wiring not the item connected.
Duplex receptacle circuit given 15 amp breaker 225 amp load?
A 15 amp breaker is not sufficient for a 225 amp load. You would need a breaker that matches the load current, such as a 225 amp breaker. Using a 15 amp breaker for a 225 amp load would cause the breaker to trip immediately due to overcurrent.
How do you turn a 30 amp circuit into a 15 amp cicuit?
Replace the 30 Amp Breaker with a 15 Amp breaker.
How many volts can you draw off of a 15amp breaker?
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.

Can a 3 phase 220 volt machine that usually plugs into a line with a twenty amp breaker can a thirty amp breaker be used instead?
No, you should not install a 30 amp circuit breaker to a machine which normally requires a 20 amp supply. The circuit breaker is protecting the wire to the machine. That wire is likely only rated for 20 amps, (# 12 awg). Therefore, a 30 amp breaker could allow too much current to go through the wiring to the machine and cause the wire to burn down. Replace the 3 phase 20 amp breaker with the same amperage breaker.

Is 30 amp double pole breaker ok for 4800 watt wall heater?
Yes, a 30 amp double pole breaker would be suitable for a 4800 watt wall heater. Since watts equals volts multiplied by amps, this wall heater on a 240-volt circuit would draw 20 amps (4800 watts/240 volts), which is less than the 30 amp capacity of the breaker.
