No, the breaker size is too big. A 1 HP, 230 volt motor draws 8 amps. The electrical code recommends for a motor with a full load amps of 8 amp that it use either 25 amp non time delay fuse, 15 amp time delay fuse or a 20 amp two pole breaker. These sizes will work up to 11 amp full load amps.

Why do you get 240 volt on 1 leg 2pole breaker box residential power?
To answer this question you have to explain where you are measuring this voltage. Between what two points in the electrical panel. Use the discussion page for help.
How many ampere oc circuit breaker the 2 horse power aircon needed?
To answer this question the voltage of the air conditioner unit must be stated.
Will turning off the main breaker turn off all the power to the circuit breaker box?
No. Power to all the circuit breakers will be cut off except for the Main power breaker. The Main power breaker (which supplies power to all other breakers and will say 100, or whatever your max breaker box power is, on it )will have power going to it all the time, unless power is turned off outside the house.
Can you run 3 1000watt metal halide lamps off of a single pole 40amp breaker?
Current is power divided by voltage. If you are in the part of the world that uses 110-V AC... 3000 W ÷ 110 V = 27.3 A That's only 68% of 40 A; you should have no problem assuming you have no other heavy loads on the circuit.

Double pole 40Amp breaker on a 240volt disconnet that keeps tripping now why it didn't before?
You didn't say what, if anything was on the circuit. If everything is unplugged from the circuit or disconnected from the circuit and breaker still trips then you have a bad breaker or faulty wiring. If you remove all devices from the circuit and it doesn't trip, you need to find out which device causes the breaker to trip by plugging one device in at a time. If the disconnect controls a single device like an air conditioner you would have to turn the power off at the main panel and then physically remove the wires connecting the Air Conditioner to the disconnect. Then turn the power back on and see if the disconnect still trips. Again if it does you have a bad breaker or a short somewhere in the box. If it doesn't trip you have a bad motor whose windings are likely shorted or some other condition that is drawing more than 40 Amps.
Have you experienced a partial power outage in your house where no breaker has tripped?
Yes, I have experienced a partial power outage in my house where no breaker has tripped.
Why would power be received before breaker but with breaker on no power is in any recepticles?
The voltage before the breaker is from the distribution panel's buss bars. This voltage is controlled by the panel's main breaker. To have no voltage on the terminal of the breaker means that either the breaker is shut off or it has gone into a trip position. If it has tripped push the handle of the breaker to the off position and then to the on position. This should reset the breaker. If the voltage is not present at the output terminal of the breaker after resetting it, then replace the breaker as it has a fault in it.
