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.
Remove the 30 amp double pole breaker and install at least one single pole 15 amp breaker. It is best if the other slot is not left open so if you have another single pole breaker of any size install it in the 2nd spot so it isn't open when you replace the cover on the panel. For your 15 amp circuit you need #14 gauge copper wire or larger with a hot, neutral, and ground. Your 30 amp circuit was probably wired with #10 gauge conductors. These will probably work on your 15 amp circuit but it may be difficult to connect #10 conductors to devices.
No tandem breakers are of the same value.
If a 100 amp breaker keeps tripping there is an overload on the system.
Yes.Additional InformationBreakers and fuses protect the wires to prevent fire. The 100 Amp breaker in the meter base (main) protects the wire from the meter base to the breaker panel. The 50 Amp breaker in the breaker panel protects the wire from the breaker panel to the outlet. Sometimes the 100 amp main breaker is located in the panel.If you are asking "Can you use two 50 amp breakers for the main breakers with a 100 amp service, then yes you can. The National Electrical Code allows you to use up to 6 breakers as the main overcurrent protection.
If the 12,000 BTU A/C only requires 20 amps to run then yes you can use the same 12 gauge wire but you cannot change it to a 15 amp breaker. You will need to install a 20 amp double pole breaker. If it requires more than 20 amps you will have to replace the wiring and breaker.
You have a double pole breaker for 240Volt supply. The maximum current is 15 amp.
A 100-A sub-panel would be fed from a 100-A breaker.
The appropriate double pole 30 amp breaker to use for a dryer installation is a 30 amp double pole circuit breaker.
The maximum amperage capacity of a 100 amp Pushmatic breaker is 100 amps.
The maximum current capacity of a 100 amp circuit breaker is 100 amps.
The maximum amperage capacity of the main breaker in a 100 amp sub panel with a main breaker is 100 amps.
The maximum amperage rating for a double breaker 20 amp is 20 amps.
The maximum amperage capacity of a 100 amp panel with a main breaker is 100 amps.
The maximum amperage capacity of a 100 amp main breaker in an electrical panel is 100 amps.
Remove the 30 amp double pole breaker and install at least one single pole 15 amp breaker. It is best if the other slot is not left open so if you have another single pole breaker of any size install it in the 2nd spot so it isn't open when you replace the cover on the panel. For your 15 amp circuit you need #14 gauge copper wire or larger with a hot, neutral, and ground. Your 30 amp circuit was probably wired with #10 gauge conductors. These will probably work on your 15 amp circuit but it may be difficult to connect #10 conductors to devices.
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.
