Depends on the wire size you are using. If the generator breaker is a 30 amp then install a 30 amp breaker.
The size breaker you use is determined by the size wire used in the circuit. If you use AWG #12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. If you use AWG # 14/2 then use a 15 amp breaker.
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.
25 amp breaker
A 100-A sub-panel would be fed from a 100-A breaker.

A typical home entertainment system may require a 15-amp circuit breaker. It's important to ensure the total power consumption of all components does not exceed the amp rating to prevent overloading the circuit. It's recommended to consult an electrician for proper sizing and installation.

30 amp breaker with #10 gauge copper wire
The 225 amps is the secondary output amperage. Look on the machines nameplate to find the input amperage. It is that amperage that is needed to size the feed wire and there the breaker size. When you find that amperage you may want to re question the breaker size.
No, it is not recommended to replace a 35 amp breaker with a 40 amp breaker for an AC unit. Breakers are designed to protect the circuit and the equipment, so using a higher rated breaker can lead to overheating and potential damage. It is best to use the correct amperage rated breaker for the equipment.
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E.
25 amp breaker
Look on the heater and see what amps it is pulling. That will determine the wire size and breaker size. It must be on a dedicated circuit. 15 amps = AWG # 14 wire with 15 amp breaker 20 amps = AWG # 12 wire with 20 amp breaker 30 amps = AWG # 10 wire with 30 amp breaker 40 amps = AWG # 8 wire with 40 amp breaker

To determine the size of the breaker needed for a 78 amp range, you typically need to use a breaker that is the next size up from the amp rating. This means that you would need an 80 amp breaker to safely accommodate the 78 amp range. However, always consult with a qualified electrician to ensure the correct breaker size for your specific electrical setup.
