Changing a 30 amp circuit to a 60 amp circuit involves more than just swapping out the breaker. It would require upgrading the wiring to handle the increased current capacity, as well as ensuring that all components connected to the circuit can safely handle the higher amperage. It is crucial to consult with a qualified electrician to assess the feasibility and safety of such an upgrade, as it may involve significant modifications to the electrical system.
Answer for UK, Europe and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.It is acceptable to connect two 15-amp breakers to a 30-amp supply. It woud also be acceptable in some applications to connect three 15-amp breakers if it were known that the total current would not exceed 30 amps. For example in many UK properties there is a 60-amp supply, and connected to this there are two 30-amp supplies for the ring-circuit and the cooker, plus also a 10-amp lighting supply.
You can't "change" the outlet to a 30 amp.The major limitation is the size of wire that feeds the outlet. A 15 amp circuit is typically run with 14 AWG wire. A 30 amp circuit must use 10 AWG wire.To add a 30 amp circuit you'll need to run a new wire, new outlet and connect it all to a new breaker.Always seek the services of a qualified electrician to make those kinds of changes. A mistake can lead to electrical fires and possibly death of someone in the home.
breakers are rated by wire size, not voltage. the appliance manufacturer will probably specify amperage.

Yes, you should use a 60 amp fuse in a 60 amp disconnect to ensure proper protection and compatibility with the electrical system. Using the correct amperage fuse helps prevent electrical hazards and keeps the circuit operating safely.
The question is far from clear. The percentage change from 30% to 60 = % change from 0.3 to 60 100*(60 - 0.3)/0.3 = 19,900%

60% reduction
Replace the 30 Amp Breaker with a 15 Amp breaker.
Divide by 60.
30% decrease.
The maximum amperage capacity of a 60 amp circuit breaker is 60 amps.
A 60 amp breaker can support a maximum current capacity of 60 amps.
breakers are rated by wire size, not voltage. the appliance manufacturer will probably specify amperage.
A device that needs a 60 amp plug requires a special type of electrical outlet called a 60 amp outlet.
No. If your AC is currently running on a 30 amp 2 pole breaker, then it is a 220 volt unit. You cannot substitute one 60 amp single pole breaker as you'll only be supplying 110 volts and the AC unit won't work. In fact you could damage it.
