no, load will brake at 30 not 15 as needed
You would need one 30 amp double-pole breaker in the breaker box for a 240V cooktop.
No, a 110-volt refrigerator on a 30 amp breaker is not correct. A typical home refrigerator operates on a 15-20 amp circuit. A 30 amp breaker is typically used for larger appliances or equipment that require more power. Plugging a refrigerator into a 30 amp breaker may pose a safety hazard.
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.
On a 15 amp household breaker there is no terminal on the in feed of the breaker. The breaker either plugs into the distribution panel's bus bar or it bolts to the distribution's bus bars. The feed conductor connects to the load side of the breaker at its terminal lug.
no, because it is depend on its current carrying capacity. eg-if 25amp current flowing in the ckt then 30amp breaker don't protect the ckt but if it is cross the rated capacity then breaker works.

You have a double pole breaker for 240Volt supply. The maximum current is 15 amp.
The appropriate double pole 30 amp breaker to use for a dryer installation is a 30 amp double pole circuit 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.
The maximum amperage rating for a double breaker 20 amp is 20 amps.
On a 15 amp household breaker there is no terminal on the in feed of the breaker. The breaker either plugs into the distribution panel's bus bar or it bolts to the distribution's bus bars. The feed conductor connects to the load side of the breaker at its terminal lug.

A circuit breaker of 30 amps will protect a 30 amp load . you may have a 1000 amps service it does not matter because the 30 amps breaker will open up at 30 amps therefore safe. OF COURSE THE OTHER WAY AROUND WILL NEVER WORK. Just check to make sure that the wire from the 30 amp breaker is a #10 or larger. If it was a 50 amp plug originally more that likely the wire will be a #6. As the answer above states it is safe.
A 60 amp double pole breaker can handle a maximum electrical load of 60 amps.
For a 50 amp hot tub installation, a double-pole 50 amp breaker is required.
A double 15 amp breaker in residential wiring is typically used to supply power to large appliances like electric stoves, dryers, or air conditioning units. The double breaker allows for a 240-volt circuit to be created by using two 120-volt circuits together.
