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.
Does a 15 amp tandem breaker equal 30 amps total?
No, each segment of a tandem breaker is what the breaker rating on the handle states. Tandem breakers are used when there is no space left in the distribution panelboard. You get an extra circuit by removing the full size breaker and installing a tandem breaker,
Does a double 50 amp breaker make a 100 amp?
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.
Have 30 amp double pole need 15 amp 120v?
You can use a 15 amp single pole breaker to convert your 30 amp double pole breaker to 15 amp 120v. Simply replace the 30 amp breaker with the 15 amp breaker in the circuit breaker panel. Make sure to match the wire size in the circuit with the appropriate amperage rating of the new breaker.
Will a 2 pole 60 amp ITE Gould or Westinghouse breaker replace a 2 pole 60 amp T and B unit?
