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 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.
Can you change a 50 amp receptacle to a 15 amp receptacle?
Yes as long as you change the 50 amp breaker to a 15 amp breaker. You will be hard pressed to get the 50 amp #6 wire under the terminals of the 15 amp receptacle.
Can 50 Amp breaker replace 45 Amp breaker?
Both a 45 amp and 50 amp breaker would require 6 AWG wire. So if you have 6 AWG wire and any devices like an outlet are rated at 50 amps or greater you are okay.
What breaker for 17.3 amps?
I would suggest a 20 amp breaker. * Added - I would suggest a 25 amp breaker. A slight surge, depending upon what equipment is the source of the 17.3 amp load, should not result in circuit breaker opening. <<>> In North America, the electrical code only allows circuit loading up to 80% on a continuous load. A 20 amp breaker can be legally loaded to 16 amps. A 25 amp breaker can be legally loaded to 20 amps.
