No, it would not be safe because 250v is too high for that breaker.
<<>>
In North America all household breakers are rated at 120/240 volts. A 250 volt 15 amp breaker would would be a two pole breaker and take up two slots in the distribution panel. This can be pulled out and replaced with two separate 15 amp breakers or one 15 amp breaker and a slot panel filler to cover the second slot.

RossNo, you cannot interchange a 250v 15 amp breaker with a 115v 15 amp breaker. Breakers are voltage-specific devices, and using the wrong voltage breaker can be a safety hazard and can damage your electrical system. It is essential to use the correct voltage and amperage ratings for your electrical circuit.

Can you plug a 15a 250v ac into a 30a 250v plug?
No, the amperage pin configurations are different between a 15 amp and a 30 amp plug.
Duplex receptacle circuit given 15 amp breaker 225 amp load?
A 15 amp breaker is not sufficient for a 225 amp load. You would need a breaker that matches the load current, such as a 225 amp breaker. Using a 15 amp breaker for a 225 amp load would cause the breaker to trip immediately due to overcurrent.
Does square D make a circuit breaker with a 15 amp and 20 amp breaker in the same breaker?
No tandem breakers are of the same value.
Can you use a 20 amp breaker if the amp rating on a heater is 21 amp?
No, it is not safe to use a 20 amp breaker for a heater with a 21 amp rating. The breaker should be rated at least equal to or higher than the amp rating of the appliance to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. It is recommended to use a 25 amp breaker for a 21 amp heater.
Can you change a 32 amp circuit breaker to a 40 amd circuit breaker?
It is not recommended to swap a 32 amp circuit breaker with a 40 amp one without verifying that the wiring and components are rated for a higher amperage load. Consult with a licensed electrician to ensure the safety and compatibility of the circuit before making any changes.
