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.
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.
How many amp breaker is needed for 4000 watts at 220 volts?
The equation that you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts / Volts.
What size breaker is needed for a 240 volt 34 amp hot tub?
Add 25% so it comes to 42 amps
How many volts can you draw off of a 15amp breaker?
It's the amps that are controlled by the breaker not the volts. You can have a 600 volt 15 amp breaker, you can have a 347 volt 15 amp breaker. The breaker will trip when you exceed 15 AMPS.
Why are electric ranges wired to separate circuit breaker?
As a range is a high current device, the electrical code stipulates that it has to have its own breaker. The breaker protects the wire feeder. An electric range breaker is set to trip at 40 amps. Using a smaller wire that #8 is not allowed as their ratings are below that of the #8 wire. #10 wire rating is 30 amps, #12 wire rating is 20 amps, and #14 wire rating is 15 amps.
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 size breaker would e needed for 10.8 amps?
In standard construction this would require a 15 amp breaker and 14 gauge copper wire.
How many televisions can be run off of a 15 amp breaker?
It depends on how many amps each TV draws. The continuous load should be 80% of teh breaker or 12 amps. If an average TV draws 2.5 amps that would be 4 TVs. Look for a rating plate on TV and just add the currents up.
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 size breaker is needed for a 240 volt 34 amp hot tub?
Add 25% so it comes to 42 amps
How many amps breaker you need for a 5000 watts immersion heater?
To answer this question the voltage of the immersion heater is needed. I = W/E.

What size wire and breaker do you need for a 5000 watt garage heater?
Look on the heater and see what amps it is pulling. That will determine the wire size and breaker size. It must be on a dedicated circuit. 15 amps = AWG # 14 wire with 15 amp breaker 20 amps = AWG # 12 wire with 20 amp breaker 30 amps = AWG # 10 wire with 30 amp breaker 40 amps = AWG # 8 wire with 40 amp breaker
What size breaker is needed for 208 volts 6 amps using Ohm's law?
20 amp In North America code states a two pole 15 amp breaker will do the job.
