Multiple wires can be connected to one breaker but the one breaker IS a circuit. As long as the load is not more than 80% of the breaker capacity (example: a 20 amp breaker can only have 16 amps or 1920 watts at 120 volts) then by code as long as the load is not a specialty outlet of some sort, you can have as many outlets you want.
The outcomes for each set is not independent. For a set to go into a tie breaker the players need to be very evenly matched. If they are, there is a greater probability that the sets will go into tie breaker. If you disregard that aspect of realitythen the answer is 0.0270, approx.
The number of degrees the breaker cam rotates from the time the breaker points close until they open again.

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.

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.
You don't calculate the rated kV.A of a circuit breaker; it's determined by the manufacturer. It's important that a circuit breaker's rated kV.A exceeds the fault level kV.A at the point where the circuit breaker is located, otherwise it may fail to interrupt a fault current and, possibly, self destruct.
A 300 watt bulb requires a circuit breaker of at least 2.5 amps. This can be determined by dividing the power (300 watts) by the voltage (120 volts). However, considering normal breaker sizes, a 5 amp breaker would be sufficient for a 300 watt bulb.
The ton rating of a circuit breaker is typically determined by the manufacturer and can vary depending on the specific model and specifications. In this case, the CKT48-18 circuit breaker would have a ton rating of 48 tons.
This formula will give you the amperage I = kw x 1000/1.73 x E x pf (pf = power factor). Take the amperage and multiply it by 125%. This will give you the breaker size that you need.
The size of the breaker is determined by the smallest conductor used in the system and by the type of load being serviced.
The size of the circuit breaker for a pool pump should be determined by the pump's current draw. The breaker should be sized to accommodate the pump's full load amperage with a 125% safety margin. Most pool pumps typically require a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker.
A circuit breaker shuts off the power to an electrical circuit when it detects too much current flow. As electricity moves through wiring, an electromagnetic field develops around the wire. Electromagnetic breakers capitalize on this field production by using electromagnets. The current that moves through the breaker charges the electromagnet and as the current increases the magnetic pull also increases. If the current exceeds the limit the breaker is designed to handle, the magnetic pull becomes strong enough to pull the contact plate away from the stationary plate. This breaks the circuit and is referred to as "tripping the breaker. A surge protector on the other hand prevents a voltager higher than the normal voltage from damaging electical devices. It does not shut off the power as a circuit breaker or fuse does.
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.One 240 volt receptacle fed from a two pole breaker from the distribution panel. The size of the breaker is determined by the load current and the wire sized accordingly.
It is not recommended to replace a 20 amp circuit breaker with a 25 amp one. Circuit breakers are designed to protect the wiring and equipment from overheating and potential fires. Using a breaker with a higher rating than the wiring can handle increases the risk of overheating and could lead to a fire hazard. It is important to match the circuit breaker size to the wiring and equipment it is protecting.
