What is the wiring gauge breaker size and type single vs Double pole requirements for wiring in a 240v single phase 15amp 60HZ compressor motor?

You will need a two pole breaker for the 240 volt. Recommended wire size would be a #12 copper wire RW90 C connected to a two pole 30 amp breaker.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.


Can you put in piggy back circuit breakers in a circuit panel?

The electrical terminology for this type of breaker is a tandem breaker. It is where two breakers circuits can be in the same one breaker slot in a distribution panel. On this type of breaker there will be two output for a circuit value of what ever the breaker is rated for.


What size breaker do i need for a central heat and air unit?

The breaker type be it a single pole or double pole will depend on what voltage the air conditioner operates on. Once the voltage is established, the sizing of the breaker depends on what the current draw of the air conditioner is.

What type panel does a 4 pole breaker require?

The panel and breaker have to be of the same manufacturer. This way the breaker will fit into the panel. If the panel has a push in bus bar, the breaker must also be the type to accept the bus bar. If the bus bars in the panel are of the bolt in type then the breaker also has to be a bolt in breaker.


How can I connect a single-phase - 2 hot wires plus ground- 220V load to a 3-pole 220V breaker?

Common usage of a three pole breaker is for use on a three phase distribution panel. Single phase distribution panels only use two pole breakers for a 240 volt load.Remember that the breaker must protect the conductors that connect to the load. If you want to try and use a three pole breaker in a single phase panel just because you have the breaker, this is not a good idea even if it will fit.Purchase the proper single phase two pole breaker to match the wire size and the amperage of the connected 240 volt load. Keep in mind that connected 240 volt motor loads have to be sized to 250% of the motor's full load amperage.By doing what you want to do and a fault occurs from this type of installation your insurance company might not cover the damage that it would cause.If the distribution panel is three phase then just connect the two load wires to any two of the three poles on the breaker.

What type of circuit breaker is required for a 240 v branch circuit?

the circuit breaker used will be miniature circuit breaker(MCB) maily used in homes.Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.A two pole circuit breaker is used for a load of 240 volts. It is sized, according to the load amps of the device, to protect the wires that supply the load current.

The North Pole would have a polar air mass - high latitude and polar climate.


Should a hot water heater be put on a 30 single or 30 double amp breaker?

What governs the type of breaker is the voltage and wattage of the heater elements. If the tank is 120V then you would only use one breaker. The size of the breaker you use will depend on the watts of the element. Watts = amps x volts, Amps = Watts/ volts. Once you establish the amperage then size the wire and the breaker to fit. If the tank is 240V the same rules apply only you would use a 2 pole breaker. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS. If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use a meter or voltage indicatorto insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.


Where can you learn more about appliance parts online?

I am unsure what type of appliance parts you are looking to learn about. Commonly you can find appliance manuals which provide information about individual parts of each appliance.
