The Stiebel Eltron Tempra 24 requires two (quatity 2) 60 amp double-pole breakers. Two hot wires are needed per breaker, for a total of 4 hot wires. Only one ground wire is necessary. Recommended wire size is 6 AWG. However, local building codes should be observed to make sure your installation is up to local code. A neutral wire is not used for installing any of the Tempra tankless water heaters because it runs solely on 220/240v. The neutral wire is needed for appliances that need 120v AND 220/240v to operate. For example, an electric stove needs 120v to run the clock or timer, and 240v to run the cooking elements. Simply run the 4 hot wires from you breakers to the Tempra 24 and make the connections as per the diagram on the link below: http://www.titanheater.com/proddetail.php?prod=Tempra-24 It is that simple. Just make sure you have suffient electrical service to handle this unit. IMPORTANT: Any project that involves electricity can be dangerous. This is a job for a professional. If you do not feel capable of carrying out this task please let a professional complete the task. Make sure all power at the breakers/electric panel is turned off/disconnected before doing any work.
The two wires from the Stiebel-Eltron Tempra 24 water heater should be connected to the two double pole breakers inside the electrical panel. Each wire is connected to a separate terminal on each breaker. It is important to make sure the wires are securely connected and the breakers are properly rated for the water heater's electrical requirements. If you are unsure about the installation process, it is recommended to seek the assistance of a qualified electrician.
No, double pole circuit breakers cannot be changed into single pole breakers. The breakers are designed for specific functions and changing them can create a safety hazard. If more space is needed in the panel box, consider upgrading to a larger panel box or rearranging the circuits to free up space.
For 220v circuits
GE circuit breakers with catalog numbers ranging from THQL1115 through to THQL1150 can be substituted like for like with Cutler-Hammer circuit breakers coded CL115 through to CL150, ITE Siemens circuit breakers coded Q115 through to Q150 and Square D circuit breakers coded HOM115 through to HOM150. These are single pole breakers. GE circuit breakers with catalog codes from THQL2115 through to THQL2150 can be substituted with Cutler-Hammer circuit breakers CL215 through to CL250, Square D circuit breakers HOM215 through to HOM250 and ITE Siemens circuit breakers Q215 through to Q250 of the same amperage and voltage. These are double pole breakers.
The number of pole breakers required for an air conditioner depends on the specific electrical requirements of the unit. Typically, air conditioners are powered by double-pole breakers, which consist of two breakers tied together to create a 240-volt circuit. It's important to consult the manufacturer's specifications or an electrician to determine the correct size and type of breaker needed for your air conditioner.
The provisioning of the breakers in a panel has a physical limitation regarding how many breakers will fit and a load calculation based on what devices the panel has to support. Your question really applies to both types of breakers. There are rules of thumb for sizing and populating the panel. This information is in the National Electric Code. If you have an existing panel and a new application requiring additional breakers for 220 Volt applications, the current draw in panel can be measured by an electrician and you will know what additional load you can support. If breakers fit physically in the panel, but connected devices exceed the total current capacity you will trip the main panel breaker. At this point you would need to get an electrician involved.

GE circuit breakers are designed to be used with GE breaker boxes. While there may be some compatibility with other breaker boxes, it is recommended to use GE breaker boxes to ensure proper fit and performance. It is important to consult with an electrician or the manufacturer for specific compatibility requirements.
240V appliances, such as range, dryer, air conditioner.
Move things around until you have space for a double-pole breaker, which is required for 240V. Don't be stupid and connect 2 separate breakers in non-adjacent positions. It might work, and then again it might fry something too.
In order to properly convert a circuit to an arc fault circuit breaker, both the hot and neutral wires must be connected to the arc fault breaker. This means that you would need to change both breakers to arc fault breakers, as each would require its own connection to the neutral wire to function effectively and meet safety standards.
Can be 30, 40, or 50 Amp 240 volt double pole depending on the HVAC specs.
My mistake. They are single pole 30 amp breakers. Probably should replace with a double pole. Sorry for any incovenience to this forum. d
