30X240=7200
A 60 amp 2-pole breaker can handle up to 14,400 watts (60 amps x 240 volts). This is because a 2-pole breaker provides 240 volts, which is the typical voltage for larger appliances and machinery.
The load exceeds the limit of the breaker or fuse. For example a 20 amp breaker on a 120 volt circuit will handle 2400 watts. Exceed that wattage and the breaker will trip or the fuse will blow.
To answer this question a voltage must be given. Watts = Amps x Volts. <<>> Answer At 115 volts ac, 30 amps equals 3,450 watts.
A 20 amp circuit breaker at 208 volts can handle up to 4160 watts (20 amps x 208 volts = 4160 watts). This is calculated by multiplying the amperage by the voltage to determine the maximum wattage capacity of the circuit.

The maximum wattage that a 30 amp breaker can handle is 30 x 230 = 6900 watts. Other variables come into play and this number will decrease depending on the load, duty time, and difference in voltage fluctuation.

At 120 volts a 15 amp breaker can be loaded to 1800 watts before it will trip. If it is a continuous load then the electrical code states that it is only allowed to be loaded to 80%. This will be 1800 x .8 = 1440 watts. If the voltage is not 120 volts use the following equation Watts = Amps x Volts. Amps being the breaker size that is to be used.
1,000 watts
The equation that you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts / Volts.
100 watts
3/4 of watts
