Since baseboard heaters come in many different wattages vs. lengths I guess the best answer would be, you can load up to 2880 watts of baseboard heaters on a 15 amp two pole breaker at 240 volts.

A 15 amp breaker can handle up to 1800 watts of electricity. This means you can run multiple small appliances or devices that consume a combined total of less than 1800 watts without overloading the circuit. It is important to not exceed this limit to prevent the breaker from tripping.

How do you wire 15amp 230v woodworking machine. 10agw or 12agw wire and type of outlet. Into a 15amp or 20amp breaker?
For a 15 amp 230V woodworking machine, you should use at least 10 AWG wire to handle the current. You can wire it into a 15 amp breaker with a suitable outlet, like a NEMA 6-15. However, if your woodworking machine has start-up surges or is a larger machine, you may want to consider using a 20 amp breaker and wire with 12 AWG to handle the load more comfortably.
What amperage breaker to run 500 watt 240 volt heater?
To run a 500 watt 240 volt heater, you would need a 2.08 amp breaker. This can be calculated by dividing the wattage by the voltage (500W / 240V = 2.08A). You would typically round up to the nearest standard breaker size, which in this case would be a 3 amp breaker.
Can a 12000 BTU air conditioner run on 15 amp breaker?
It is possible for a 12000 BTU air conditioner to run on a 15 amp breaker, but it may cause the breaker to trip if there are other appliances drawing power on the same circuit. It is recommended to have a dedicated circuit for the air conditioner to prevent overloading the breaker.

How do you plug a dryer?
If you mean installing a plug in your wall for the dryer, I advise calling an electrician unless you know someone who is very experienced and confident with electricity. A dryer requires 220 volts of electricity, twice what most home outlets deliver. A line has to be run from each side of your breaker box through the wall to the where you want the outlet to be (110 volts from each side of your breaker box). If you go to a large home/hardware store, they can show you the right plug to use. Again, electricity is very dangerous, especially when you are working directly with the service panel (breaker box) in your house. Please be safe.
