How many pole breaker for air condition?
If the power requirement is 120 volts it will be connected to a single pole breaker rated at the amperage requirement of the air conditioner. If the voltage of the air conditioner is 240 volts, then a two pole breaker will be required.
Can a single pole switch be used to control one light between two single pole switches?
yes
How do you tell a single pole breaker from a double pole breaker?
AnswerAccording to my husband, all sockets are double pole, single and double pole refer to switches. Hope that helps. Double pole isolates both neutral and live, single pole only isolates live, double is better, but single is cheaper. DP-switched sockets have only become commonplace in relatively recent times anyway, marketed on yet another "increased safety" angle when there was never any safety problem with SP to begin with.
What is the Largest amperage single phase 120 volt breaker made?
6000amps <<>> The above answer must have big lugs to accommodate 6000 amp capacity wire. In my breaker catalogue the largest 120 volt single pole breaker is 70 amps, 277 volt single pole is 150 amps and 347 volt single pole is 100 amps. The 120 volt single pole breaker occupies two opposed slots because of its length.
Can a double pole 20 amp breaker be used with 12-2 wire for a single 220 circuit?
The term "double pole" usually means a breaker with 2 handles that attaches in the space as a normal single pole breaker. If this is what you mean, no, you cannot. There is no potential, or voltage, between the wire terminals. If by "double pole" you mean what is usually called a 2-pole breaker, which is a breaker with 2 handles that attaches in the space of 2 single pole breakers, then yes, you can use this breaker and 12/2 wire to produce a 220v circuit.
Can a single pole breaker goes bad?
Any mechanical device, including switches, can malfunction. You have to be careful wiring up a single pole switch, to make sure it is in the live (positive) line, not in the return (neutral) line.

Can you use two 15 amp single pole breakers in place of a double pole 30 amp breaker?
Yes. An everyday occurrence of this circuitry is in your kitchen counter split receptacles. The top half of the receptacle is a 15 amp circuit and from the same breaker the bottom half of the receptacle is another 15 amp circuit. A two pole single handle breaker is a common trip. If one of the circuits fed from the breaker faults the other connected circuit will shut off also. If you are talking about slot position in a breaker panel, you can remove the two pole breaker and install two single pole breakers.
How do you define a pole in circuit breaker?
A pole In a circut breaker refers to the number of circuts it controls, single pole only controls one, double controls 2 at same time
