∙ 14y agoYes, a single pole 30 amp breaker can be used for an electric dryer. However, it is important to verify the electrical requirements of the dryer and ensure that the wiring and outlet are also rated for 30 amps. If in doubt, it is recommended to consult with a qualified electrician for proper installation.

For a 120V hand dryer with a rating of 20 amps, use a 20 amp breaker to match the device's ampacity and prevent potential overloading or overheating issues.
A double-pole circuit breaker is typically used for an electric clothes dryer. This type of circuit breaker provides the necessary voltage and amperage to power the dryer safely and effectively. It is important to consult a professional electrician to ensure the correct circuit breaker is installed for the specific requirements of the dryer.
No. The two appliances usually have dedicated circuits. The range will have a two pole 40 amp breaker and be fed with a 3-C #8 copper cable. The dryer will have a 30 amp two pole breaker and be fed with a 3-C # 10 copper cable. As you can see by powering a 40 amp device from a 30 amp breaker, full operation of the range will trip the 30 amp breaker.
A 220 VAC breaker can be single pole or double pole depending on the application. For standard 220 VAC circuits like most household appliances, a double pole breaker is typically used. However, in certain situations where only one hot wire is needed, a single pole breaker can be used for 220 VAC circuits.
If there is no room for a new 30 amp breaker, you may need to upgrade your electrical panel to accommodate the additional load. It is recommended to hire a licensed electrician to properly install the new circuit and outlet for the dryer to ensure safety and compliance with local codes.
The dryer is 220VAC. You need a double pole breaker to get 220 out of a home breaker panel. Perhaps you should contact an electrician who understands wiring so that you don't burn your house down.

6000amps <<>> The above answer must have big lugs to accommodate 6000 amp capacity wire. In my breaker catalogue the largest 120 volt single pole breaker is 70 amps, 277 volt single pole is 150 amps and 347 volt single pole is 100 amps. The 120 volt single pole breaker occupies two opposed slots because of its length.
Electric dryer, electric range and central air conditioner. Some people also have a 220v outlet in their garage or workshop to run equipment like a welder or air compressor.
It depends on the specific requirements of your electrical system. Single pole breakers are typically used for 120-volt circuits, while double pole breakers are used for 240-volt circuits. If you are unsure, it is recommended to consult with a qualified electrician to determine the appropriate type of breaker for your needs.
A pole In a circut breaker refers to the number of circuts it controls, single pole only controls one, double controls 2 at same time
No, you cannot use two separate 15 amp single pole breakers in place of a double pole 30 amp breaker. A double pole breaker is designed to simultaneously disconnect both circuit conductors, whereas using two single pole breakers would not provide the necessary protection for the circuit. It is important to use the correct size and type of breaker as specified by the electrical code for safety and functionality.
