A simple voltage tester. Just check both sides of the breaker where the wire comes in

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.
How many watts will a 30 amp two pole breaker handle at 240 volts?
30X240=7200
Why am I only getting 120 volts from a 30 amp breaker that should be feeding 220 volts?
I assume you have a 30 amp two pole 220 volts breaker. Check the voltage source. If the source voltage is 220V, but out let voltage is 120 then the breaker must be faulty, a high resistance or partial open circuit could have caused the reduced voltage at the breaker outlet.
How do you calculate amp of circuit breaker to use on a 4800w oven?
Ovens typically run at 240 volts which will be a two pole breaker in your panel. Watts = volts x amps. 4800 / 240 = 20 amps. If by chance you are using 120 volts then double it to 40 amps. All wiring must conform to size of breaker used.
Is 30 amp double pole breaker ok for 4800 watt wall heater?
Yes. watts / volts = amps. 4800/240=20amps.

How do you know if your single pole is 240 or 120?
A single pole breaker will be 120 volts. But to make 100% sure test it with a volt meter.
What kind of breaker would you use for a 220 hook up?
In North America a two pole breaker will be used in the distribution panel for a supply of 240 volts for a 240 volt load.

How many volts can b drawn off a 240 volt breaker?
240 volts maximum.
How many Breakers needed to wire an electric furnace?
The electric furnace operates on 240 volts so a two pole breaker is needed.
Is 30 amp double pole breaker ok for 4800 watt wall heater?
Yes. watts / volts = amps. 4800/240=20amps.
How many volts from a double pole 15 amp breaker?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz power supply service. 230 to 240 volts on any size two pole breaker on single phase installations. The voltage varies from location to location from different utility power companies.
How does a 20 amp double pole work?
Two pole what? Switch, breaker? 2 pole does just that. Either switches two separate sources like different legs of a 220 volt circuit or switches both the hot and neutral in a 120 volt circuit or plus and minus in a 12 volt circuit or a two pole breaker takes 2 separate 120v legs in a home breaker panel. Each leg of 120 volt breaker panel is 120 volts to ground and 240 volts between them. The electricity entering your house looks like a sine wave with each leg being 180 degrees out of phase from the other. The double pole breaker takes each separate leg to the device it is powering and provides 240 volts.
What is the difference between a 2 pole and single pole breaker?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.A single pole breaker is used to supply 120 volts to a 120 volt load circuit and to protect the conductors of that circuit. This is one "hot" wire to the load and then back to the neutral. A two pole or double pole breaker is used to supply 240 volts to a 240 volt load and to protect the conductors of that circuit. This is two "hot" wires to the load without a neutral, eg. baseboard heaters, hot water tanks. The two pole breaker is also used with a neutral when the 240 volt device needs a 120 volt supply for its controls. eg. electric range, dryer.If you mean a 120 breaker with two switches, those are designed to fit an extra circuit into a full breaker panel by removing the single, installing the double, and you now have two breakers in the space of one, each for the rated amps at 120 volts on the same "leg" of the 240 supply. These are not often recommended and some local codes do not permit them to be used more than temporarily.
