Would a 15 kva 380 volt generator be big enough to run a house with a 60 amp breaker 380 volts?

A 15 KVA - Generator operating at 380 Volts can cater to only 22.79 Amps. It cannot cater to a 60 Amps breaker

How would you change a fuse to a mini circuit breaker?
I imagine you are talking about an actual fuse box, as opposed to a breaker box. These are different. One has circular fuses, the other has breakers, which generally look like switches. If it is a fuse box, unscrew the circular fuse and replace it with a fuse of the same amperage. The amperage is noted somewhere on the top of the fuse facing you when you look at in the fuse box. It will either be 15A [A for Amps] or 20A if it is in a house. If it is a breaker, and it is just tripped, turn it all the way off, and switch it back on. If the breaker is actually bad, use should call an electrician.

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.
Why does my house breaker turn off everytime you turn on the light?
Either you have a short or your circuit is severly overloaded. Either way call an electrician. It sounds like you have a fire hazard.
Is a 2.8 kilowatt generator big enough to run a house as a standby?
No, a 2800 watt generator is not large enough to run a home as stand by power. For a generator ot produce 100 amps a 25,000 watt or 25 kW generator would be needed. Since a house uses about 50 to 60 amp at any one moment during normal everyday living, a 60A x 240V = 14,000 watts. A 15 kW generator would be the minimum size generator to run a house without cutting back on any loads.
Would the electricity needed to heat a house come from a generator or a dry cell?
a generator would prodution the heat to a house.
If all the breakers in your house added up to 765 amps how big of a generator would you need to buy?
You would size the generator to match the main breaker size rather than on the sum of all the breakers. The main breaker size depends on the specific model of the circuit breaker panel - 100 Amps is typical for a house. The main breaker protects the circuit panel's bus bars from overheating, and the bus bar size is what limits the maximum power through the panel. Power = Volts x Amps, so a 100 Amp panel at 240 Volts could be operated by a 24,000 Watt (24 kW) generator. That's a pretty big generator in household terms, so often only a subset of the circuits would be allocated to the generator. Or, you just be careful not to turn everything on when using the generator. The actual Watts used depends on what's turned on, not the generator size or total capacity of all the circuit breakers. If you turn on too much stuff with an undersized generator, the generator's overload protection will trip and cut it off. Or if you load all the circuit breakers to capacity the main breaker will trip. In addition to these basic considerations there are a considerable amount of electrical codes governing connecting a generator to your house. The major one is to have a switch that prevents connecting your generator to the utility input, which precludes you from inadvertently energizing the utility lines.
How do you power a whole house with one generator?
Use a generator with a high enough rating to power the house, of course. Trying to power a house that draws 60A of current with a 10A generator is just never going to work.
If an electrician have a circuit that pulls a load of 10 amps what size breaker must that circuit be protected by?
If you are talking about a breaker in a house panel then a 15 amp breaker would be used. It is the smallest amperage breaker that you will find in a house panel.
What size generator is needed for a three bedroom house?
A generator for a three bedroom house would be medium sized. Try a small to medium sized generator that can be found online or at any hardware store in your neighborhood.

Where can I find a whole house generator?
I would look for a house generator at a home improvement store like lowes, or online. Online would probably be the best place to find one at a low price.
Why does a new AC in a new house throw the outside circuit breaker once a week?
If the breaker only trips once a week you may have a bad breaker or the breaker may not be large enough for your A/C unit. You should also have an electrician look for any loose connections from the unit to the breaker panel. (It is not uncommon to have a bad breaker)
Does a solar power generator store enough energy to supply power to an average house?
Some of the solor power generators are larger than others. Most of them will supply power for a few hours or days to an average house. Depending on the size of the solar power generator will determine whether or not it can store enough energy to supply power to an average house. Most likely if you get a very big one it will produce enough energy.
What size generator should we get for a 1600 sq. foot house?
In snow storms scenario a generator is a very good idea. Per my understanding 15KW to 17KW would be enough for a home of 1600 sq foot. A generation with the above specifications can easily serve the desired purpose.
