If you are asking, can three separate 240 volt circuits be run off of one 50 amp breaker then the answer is no. Not without knowing what the loading of the three circuits are and whether all three circuits could be on at the same time.

Can you supply three 220 -240 volt 16.6 amp infrared heaters with one circuit?
Can you supply three 220 -240 volt 16.6 amp infrared heaters with one circuit?
Can you use a 240 volt 40 amp GFCI circuit breaker for a stove?
Yes you can but the electrical code does not require it. To use one where it is not requested to do so is just adding to the over all expense of the project.
Can you use a 2 pole 60 amp breaker to feed one circuit?
No, you cannot use one in place of the other.
How many electrical outlet can be install to a 30amps breaker?
A 30 amp breaker is usually used for a dedicated 30 amp device. Ordinary 15 amp receptacles can not be connected to a breaker of higher trip capacity than the rating of the receptacle. The wire size for a 30 amp breaker is #10 AWG.
What size breaker is needed to supply a sub panel that is feeding a range and dryer?
If there is a possibility of both operating simultaneously, then a 100 amp breaker (actually 80 amp if you can find one), and appropriate wiring would be required. Even if they were not expected to operate simultaneously, it would be prudent to wire as if they were.

Can you change a 250v 15 amp breaker with a 115v15 amp breaker?
No, it would not be safe because 250v is too high for that breaker. <<>> In North America all household breakers are rated at 120/240 volts. A 250 volt 15 amp breaker would would be a two pole breaker and take up two slots in the distribution panel. This can be pulled out and replaced with two separate 15 amp breakers or one 15 amp breaker and a slot panel filler to cover the second slot.
What is a 15 amp double pole breaker?
A double pole breaker has one pole attached to one side of your breaker panel's bus or hot leg, and another pole attached to another hot leg or bus, if it is in a residential panel (in the US) each leg of the breaker is 120 volts to ground or neutral and 240 hot leg to hot leg. The 15 amp indicates that the breaker will trip if the circuit exceeds 15 amps across the two outputs of the breaker.
Can you replace your current cooker fuse 30 amp with a 40 amp circuit breaker?
A 30 amp breaker is designed to trip at an earlier point than a larger 40 amp breaker so one appliance that operates on lower amperage level could be unsafe or damaged before it could trip the higher 40 amp breaker. Also, the existing wiring may not be rated for 40 amp service.
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.
Can you use a 240 volt 40 amp GFCI circuit breaker for a stove?
Yes you can but the electrical code does not require it. To use one where it is not requested to do so is just adding to the over all expense of the project.
How do you calculate amp draw for 115v 1 phase and the breaker size?
To calculate the amp draw of a device you need to use one of the following three formula. I = W/E, I = E/R, I =√W/R. Once the amperage of the circuit is found then the size of the breaker can be established.
If installing several base board heaters with various watts what is the max number of watts you can put on one 20 amp 240v breaker?
For safety reasons ( and the National Electric Code) never put more than 75% load on a breaker, so for you case, 20 amp breaker x 75% = 15 amps 15 amps x 240 volts = 3600 watts 3600 watts
What is a 15 amp hookup?
A plug and play 15v amp circuit is one that you can simply plug in. It has a three pronged plug so no special wiring is needed.
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.
Will a 100 amp breaker box work if there are 5 220 amp breakers and 7 110 breakers?
It will if the 100 amp distribution board is a 20 circuit board. Ten spaces for the 240 volt breakers and seven spaces for the 120 volt breakers. There are two types of 100 amp breaker boards, one rated at 100 percent and the other at 80 percent. Depending on what rating on the panel board you are using will govern the maximum amount of current that can be legally drawn from the board. This breaker board rating will also govern the size of the main breaker installed and the wire size to feed the board, either 100 amp wire or 80 amp wire. The second consideration is what are the connected loads to the breakers, with the total of seventeen breakers, the board can only supply as much amperage as the main breaker will allow.
Which terminal on a 15 amp household breaker does the hot wire feed into and which one does it come out?
On a 15 amp household breaker there is no terminal on the in feed of the breaker. The breaker either plugs into the distribution panel's bus bar or it bolts to the distribution's bus bars. The feed conductor connects to the load side of the breaker at its terminal lug.
