Can you take a 240V circuit and run it into another box running 4 120V breakers off it?

Yes you can. What you cannot do, is exceed the number of amps. the feed breaker has. For example: Your 220 is rated at 60 amps. The combined amps the four 110 breakers cannot be more than eighty percent of 60 amps. You can even run a 110 as the feed, into a box, and run a 220 from that. It's the amps you must go by. btw the eighty percent of 60 is what is considered safest. It is possible to draw the full 60 amps., but this can cause the breaker or fuse to overheat, and either catch on fire, or kick out. Good luck, and always consult your local codes before doing any electrical work. If unsure, it is best to have a professional do the job. Yes it is expensive, but what is the cost of losing that which means the most, due to a fire, from faulty wiring?

What is the max wattage for a 120V outlet?
Power [Watts] = Voltage [Volts] * Current [Amps] These equations assume purely resistive loads, all in the ideal format, anything other than ideal will vary based on your homes wiring, the types of breakers that you use, the type of device [load] that you put on the circuit, etc. For a 20A Circuit: 120V (RMS) * 20A = 2400W (Keep in mind that this is an ideal case) For a 15A Circuit: 120V (RMS) * 15A = 1800W (Keep in mind that this is an ideal case)
In a 120V 24A circuit what amp fuse is needed to protect it?
30 amp

Is 150 a lot of power?
I'll assume you mean 150 Watts in which case it isn't that much power. It would depend on the circuit from which you are drawing this power to ultimately determine if it is "a lot of power". A typical house in the US has 120V circuits with 15-20A breakers which would allow the circuit to handle a load of 1,800-2,400 Watts.

You are about to tackle adding wiring to your detached garage Can you safely have 4 outlets 2 interior and 3 exterior lights on one 120v 20A circuit?
While 7 is pushing the upper limits, the main concern should be "what will the outlets be running? If you're putting a freezer out there, it should probably be on a separate circuit. If you'll be running any high amperage equipment; again, put it on a separate circuit.
Could 12 gauge wire is used on a 20 amp circuit at 120V?
Yes.
Can you feed a 208v 200amp panel from 480v 20amp circuit?
Not directly, you would need to transform 480v circuit to 120v with a transformer first.

How many watts can you use with a 32amp mcb?
To answer this question a voltage must be stated. W = Amps x Volts.Assuming that you keep a tidy house, your power factor is always 1 ,and you derate your circuit breakers 10% for safety . . .If in a 120v circuit . . . P120 = 0.9 x 120 x 32 = 3,456 wattsIf in a 240v circuit . . . P240 = 0.9 x 240 x 32 = 2 x P120 = 6,912 watts
