How Many Amps Can a 30 Amp Circuit Handle?
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.
What size circuit breaker is needed for a 300 watt bulb?
A 15 amp circuit breaker will handle this situation very well. The smallest home breaker is rated at 15 amp.
How big of a load does a 30 amp plug handle on a 40 amp circuit?
If the overcurrent protection device is 40 Amps, then a 30-Amp plug can overheat and catch fire at 40 Amps before the circuit-breaker blows.
What is the electrical formula to for calculating the number of 15 amp recepticles that can be install on a 15 amp circuit?
There isn't a formula, but the general rule is that you allow for 1 amp per outlet and you load the circuit to 80% of maximum. For a 15 Amp circuit you can have a maximum of 12 outlets.

Can you install a 20 amp exhaust timer on a 15 amp circuit?
It sounds to me like the exhaust timer is just a switch. The 20 amp rating that the timer is given is the maximum amount of current that it can handle and still be within its safety specifications. It will work very well on a 15 amp circuit.
What is the circuit number for heater blower 2004 Dodge ram 2500?
circuit #12 30 amp
You would like to install a 30 amp circuit and you have a open slot from a attic fan which no longer is needed and is 15 amp but how do you know if the 200 amp box can handle it?
See discuss question below.
How can you tell if your wiring and breaker box can handle it if you want to replace your wall-mounted oven and countertop burner unit with a new slide-in range with the flat top heating elements?
industry standard practice. the electrical load from a combination range is the same as the combined loads from a wall oven and countertop. so your panel and electric service will handle it. BUT the range will be on a single circuit and you must ensure that the range circuit requirements are met. the circuit requirements are on the nameplate. for example, if the range requires a 30 amp circuit and your wall oven was a 30 amp circuit then you can use the wall oven circuit. but if the range requires a 40 amp circuit, then you have to pull a 40 amp circuit from the panel to the range.
Can you plug a 2400 watt in a 15 amps?
No. A 120 volt 15 amp service will handle a maximum of 1,800 watts. Even a 20 amp service will only handle 2400 watts and that is at max load which you should never load on a 20 amp circuit. You will need a 30 amp 120 volt or 240 volt service for 2400 watts.
How many watts can a 20 amp breaker handle per hour?
2.3 kw per hour on a 110-120 volt circuit.
Can work wire for 100 amps use for 60 amps circuit?
If you have 100 amp wire, you can use it for a 60 amp circuit, or for any circuit of 100 amps or less. But if you have a 60 amp circuit, 60 amp wire is thinner and cheaper than 100 amp wire.
