Can GFCI circuit breaker handle a 240V circuit with a 120V circuit sub-paneled off if it?

I don't know if you are trying to ask if you can run a 240V panel off a GFCI or run a 120 V sub panel off of a GFCI. Can you clarify please,,,Thanks


How do you wire a 15 amp 120V breaker in a 240v 30 amp breaker panel?

Look to see if the 30 amp panel is fed with a two wire or a three wire. If it is a two wire then you are out of luck. If the panel is fed with a three wire then the panel should have the neutral terminated in the panel. It is this neutral that you need for 120 volt connections. You didn't state how many panel slots there are in the panel. If you are able install a 15 amp breaker into the panel and connect the wires going to the load. The black wire will go to the breaker and the white wire will go to the neutral bar in the panel.


Can a 240V wire be run from the junction box and not the service box?

Yes, a 240V wire can be run from a junction box that is connected to the service box. The junction box serves as a point where circuits branch off, so the 240V wire can originate from there rather than directly from the service box. It is important to ensure that all electrical work is done following local electrical codes and regulations.


How do you connect a 240V electric cooktop with four wires to the 120V services from the electric panel which is 2 wires?

If your electrical service is only 120 volts you have a problem. There is no way that you can connect a 240 volt cook top to that service. You have two options, one is to upgrade to a new 120/240 volt electrical service. Your other option is to find a 120 volt electrical cook top.


How many output amps is a 600kva generator at 240v?

To calculate the output amps of a 600kVA generator at 240V, you would use the formula Amps = kVA / Volts. In this case, it would be 600kVA / 240V = 2500 amps.

What is a reasonable price for an licensed electrician to install a 240V 30A receptacle in the garage for a dryer 10' from the panel in San Diego California?

Whatever the market will bear. If a guy is charging too much, get someone else. The real issues are things like accessability and how much space is in your breaker panel and how large is the electric service into the house. If your breaker panel is full and you need more space the electrician may need to put in a larger panel. Too many questions, not enough information to answer your original question. Sorry.


What appliances are connected to double circuit breakers used in the distribution panel?

240V appliances, such as range, dryer, air conditioner.


What are the steps in upgrading 120V 15A to a 240V 60A air condition panel?

You have to find Line 1 and Line 2 to get your 240 volts. Both do not exist in a 115vac panel. If coming from a main panel, you would install a 60amp 2 pole breaker and then run heavier wire to the a/c unit. A sub-panel could be added if no spaces are left tin the main panel.


What safety precautions should be taken when working with 240v wiring?

When working with 240v wiring, it is important to wear insulated gloves and safety goggles to protect against electric shock. Make sure to turn off the power at the breaker before starting work, and use a voltage tester to ensure the circuit is de-energized. Avoid working in wet conditions and always follow proper wiring procedures to prevent accidents.

How can you tell if you have a 240v cooktop No sticker on the old cooktop and new one requires 240. Fuse panel says 120v240v AC?

Does it have a big heavy wire, like your electric dryer, or a little light wire like your refrigerator. All electric cooktops that I know of are 240V. I have never seen one that is 120V.

How to install a 240v outlet in a residential setting?

To install a 240v outlet in a residential setting, you will need to turn off the power to the area where you plan to install the outlet, install a double-pole circuit breaker in your electrical panel, run the appropriate gauge wire from the panel to the outlet location, connect the wires to the outlet following the manufacturer's instructions, and secure the outlet in place. It is recommended to consult a licensed electrician for this installation to ensure safety and compliance with local building codes.


If you have spare fuses but they are not together how can you run a new 240V line?

Move things around until you have space for a double-pole breaker, which is required for 240V. Don't be stupid and connect 2 separate breakers in non-adjacent positions. It might work, and then again it might fry something too.
