What's a double breaker 20 amps and 30 amps?
A double breaker is a breaker that has 2 switches on it. One of the switches is 20 amps and the other is 30 amps.
Does a double 50 amp breaker make a 100 amp?
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.
Can a 4800 watt water heater run on a double pole 15 amp breaker?
Current in amps = watts/ voltage in volts. If you have a 240 volt supply, it will draw 4800/240 = 20 amps, so no. This is a very powerful water heater, and would normally be wired into a dedicated circuit, presumably with a 30 amp breaker.
Does a double 30 amp breaker mean you have 60 amps for a 220 outlet?
breakers are rated by wire size, not voltage. the appliance manufacturer will probably specify amperage.
Can you use a 25 amp double pole breaker for a 240 heavy duty whirlpool dryer.?
The recommended breaker for dryers is 30 amps. If you want to do the calculation to see if a 25 amp breaker will work use the following formula. W = A x V, A = W/V. Find the wattage of the unit and divide it by 240 volts to get the amperage. If the amperage is under 25 amps then the breaker will work. If the amperage is over 25 amps then a 30 amp breaker on #10 wire will be needed.
What's a double breaker 20 amps and 30 amps?
A double breaker is a breaker that has 2 switches on it. One of the switches is 20 amps and the other is 30 amps.
What is the maximum amperage rating for a double breaker 20 amp?
The maximum amperage rating for a double breaker 20 amp is 20 amps.
Does a double 50 amp breaker make a 100 amp?
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.

What is the maximum electrical load that can be handled by a 60 amp double pole breaker?
A 60 amp double pole breaker can handle a maximum electrical load of 60 amps.
What is the purpose of a 50 amp double breaker in an electrical circuit?
A 50 amp double breaker in an electrical circuit is used to protect the circuit from overloading by disconnecting power when the current exceeds 50 amps.
Does a double 30 amp breaker mean you have 60 amps for a 220 outlet?
breakers are rated by wire size, not voltage. the appliance manufacturer will probably specify amperage.
What is KA in Circuit Breaker?
KA stands for kilo-amps, or thousands of amps. Thus a 2KA breaker means it will trip when the load exceeds 2,000 amps.
What is the maximum amperage capacity of a Siemens breaker that is rated at 200 amps?
The maximum amperage capacity of a Siemens breaker rated at 200 amps is 200 amps.
What is the purpose of a 30 amp double pole breaker in an electrical circuit?
The purpose of a 30 amp double pole breaker in an electrical circuit is to protect the circuit from overloading by shutting off the power if the current exceeds 30 amps.
What is the maximum current rating for the circuit breaker, rated at 150 amps?
The maximum current rating for the circuit breaker is 150 amps.
What is the maximum current rating for the circuit breaker that can handle a load of 40 amps?
The maximum current rating for the circuit breaker that can handle a load of 40 amps is 40 amps.
