Remove the 30 amp double pole breaker and install at least one single pole 15 amp breaker. It is best if the other slot is not left open so if you have another single pole breaker of any size install it in the 2nd spot so it isn't open when you replace the cover on the panel. For your 15 amp circuit you need #14 gauge copper wire or larger with a hot, neutral, and ground. Your 30 amp circuit was probably wired with #10 gauge conductors. These will probably work on your 15 amp circuit but it may be difficult to connect #10 conductors to devices.
If the 12,000 BTU A/C only requires 20 amps to run then yes you can use the same 12 gauge wire but you cannot change it to a 15 amp breaker. You will need to install a 20 amp double pole breaker. If it requires more than 20 amps you will have to replace the wiring and 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.
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.
Yes. An everyday occurrence of this circuitry is in your kitchen counter split receptacles. The top half of the receptacle is a 15 amp circuit and from the same breaker the bottom half of the receptacle is another 15 amp circuit. A two pole single handle breaker is a common trip. If one of the circuits fed from the breaker faults the other connected circuit will shut off also. If you are talking about slot position in a breaker panel, you can remove the two pole breaker and install two single pole breakers.
The appropriate double pole 30 amp breaker to use for a dryer installation is a 30 amp double pole circuit breaker.
You have a double pole breaker for 240Volt supply. The maximum current is 15 amp.
The maximum current rating of a 2 pole 60 amp breaker is 60 amps.
The maximum current rating of a 2 pole 25 amp breaker is 25 amps.
Remove the 30 amp double pole breaker and install at least one single pole 15 amp breaker. It is best if the other slot is not left open so if you have another single pole breaker of any size install it in the 2nd spot so it isn't open when you replace the cover on the panel.

These will probably work on your 15 amp circuit but it may be difficult to connect #10 conductors to devices.
AWG 12/2 requires the use of a 20 amp single pole breaker.
A 60 amp double pole breaker can handle a maximum electrical load of 60 amps.
Yes.
If the 12,000 BTU A/C only requires 20 amps to run then yes you can use the same 12 gauge wire but you cannot change it to a 15 amp breaker. You will need to install a 20 amp double pole breaker. If it requires more than 20 amps you will have to replace the wiring and 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.
For a 50 amp hot tub installation, a double-pole 50 amp breaker is required.
The maximum electrical load that can be safely handled by a 15 amp 2 pole breaker is 30 amps.
