First of all, circuit breakers are rated in amps, not horsepower. Theequivalent between HP and electricity is 1 HP = 746 watts. That is a 1 HP motor requires 746 watts of power to operate it , regardless of the voltage. If you have a 250 amp circuit breaker, it is likely the main breaker to your residential panel. (?) The potential HP the panel could provide could be determined by multiplying the 250 amps times the panels voltage (208,220, 240) and divide the sum by 746.

RossThe horsepower rating of a 250 amp circuit breaker can be determined by using the formula: HP = (V x A x Eff) / 746, where V is the voltage (in volts), A is the amperage (in amps), and Eff is the efficiency factor (usually 0.8 for typical motors). Plug in the values and calculate to find the horsepower rating of the circuit breaker.

How many ampere oc circuit breaker the 2 horse power aircon needed?
To answer this question the voltage of the air conditioner unit must be stated.
How do you get your Orbit Sprinkler Timer power off to power on?
To power off the Orbit Sprinkler Timer, you can unplug it from the power source or shut off the circuit breaker supplying power to it. To power it on, simply plug it back in or turn on the circuit breaker.
What is the purpose of a Pushmatic breaker?
It is a residential circuit breaker to increase your circuit boards power. They are no longer widely available but they can be purchased from eBay and other on-line retailers.
What is the symbol of circuit breaker?
The symbol for a circuit breaker is typically a vertical rectangle with a horizontal line through the middle, resembling an on/off switch. This symbol is commonly used in electrical schematics and diagrams to indicate the presence of a circuit breaker in a circuit.
What would happenif you put an 8 amp circuit-breaker in a power circuit?
If you put an 8 amp circuit-breaker in a power circuit that draws more than 8 amps, the circuit-breaker would trip or disconnect the circuit to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. It is important to always use the correct amperage rating for circuit-breakers to ensure safe operation of electrical circuits.
