What else can I help you with?
Is there a switch available to control power to a thermostat for 20A 240V electric baseboard heater?
There are two types of thermostats. One is a line voltage stat. This is in effect a switch and when turned to the off position the voltage is interrupted and the heater will not operate. The other type of stat is low voltage. There will be a relay in the baseboard heater that the thermostat is connected to. With this type if installation to turn the power completely off you will have to turn the breaker off that feeds the circuit.
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.
Can you run a 110v heater on 220v circuit?
No.It'll overload and fail just about immediately.It's possible - but not recommended - to run two 110 v heaters in series from a 220v circuit.
Can you pull 60amp from main box to garage and run a lot of power tools?
You can run a 6AWG cable from a 2 pole 60A breaker in the main box to your garage, into a small sub-box with 4 15A circuit breakers, and hang a outlet from each circuit breaker. That would do 4 normal power tools fairly safely. Your better off bringing a 100A sub service to your garage if your going to spend the time and money on the project. ------------------ 60 amps will work just fine but 40 or 50 amps will probably do you just as well. Odds are you won't be running more than one tool at a time and you can install multiple 15 or 20 amp circuits. Your individual circuits can add up to more than the size of service you actually supply. A compressor may need a 240v 2-pole circuit. Lights are not much of a consideration unless you are doing something unusual. Install enough receptacles that one is always convenient.
240v nema6-50r outlet wired with 6 gauge wire and 50 amp breaker you need to run a heater with a nema 6-30p can you simply put a 30 amp receptical in place of the 50 amp receptical?
Not legally because the rating of the 30 amp receptacle would have a 50 amp breaker ahead of it. If you reduced the feed breaker to 30 amps and still use the #6 wire, this would be within the electrical code rules.
What is the maximum current capacity of a 30 amp breaker for a 240v circuit?
The maximum current capacity of a 30 amp breaker for a 240v circuit is 30 amps.
What is the purpose of a single pole 240v breaker in an electrical circuit?
A single pole 240V breaker is used in an electrical circuit to protect the circuit from overloading and short circuits. It helps to safely distribute electricity and prevent damage to the wiring and appliances connected to the circuit.
What is the purpose of a single pole breaker for 240v in an electrical circuit?
A single pole breaker for 240V in an electrical circuit is used to protect the circuit from overloading and short circuits. It is designed to interrupt the flow of electricity if there is a problem, ensuring safety and preventing damage to the electrical system.
How much voltage should be in 2pole circuit breaker?
In America, a 2-pole breaker is controlling 240V. 120V per leg.
Would a 30A 240V circuit breaker be too large to safely support a either a 20A or 23A 240V bandsaw?
Yes it will operate it fine.
What is the breaker size for a 10 KVA electric heater?
The breaker size for a 10 KVA electric heater would depend on the voltage it operates at. For example, for a 240V heater, you would need a 41.67 Amp breaker (10,000 VA / 240V = 41.67 A). It is important to consult with a licensed electrician to ensure the correct breaker size and electrical setup for your specific heater.
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
What is the purpose of a 240v GFCI breaker and how does it enhance electrical safety in a circuit?
A 240V GFCI breaker is designed to protect against electrical shocks by quickly shutting off power when it detects a ground fault. This enhances electrical safety in a circuit by reducing the risk of electric shock and preventing potential electrical hazards.
Can you tie into your kitchen run to get your 240V to a receptacle?
No, tying into a kitchen run to power a 240V receptacle is not recommended. It's best to install a dedicated circuit for the receptacle and ensure that the wiring and circuit breaker are appropriately sized to handle the load. This will help prevent overloading the circuit and ensure safety.
How do I wire a 240V breaker correctly?
To wire a 240V breaker correctly, first turn off the power to the circuit. Connect the hot wires to the breaker terminals, the neutral wire to the neutral bus bar, and the ground wire to the ground bus bar. Make sure all connections are secure and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Turn the power back on and test the circuit to ensure it is working properly.

Will a 20A 240V breaker be sufficient for a 240V 22A input welder or do you need to go to a 30A?
It would have to be a 30 amp breaker to use the full power of the welder. I'd say go with the 30A. The general rule is that your planned load should only be 80% of the circuit capacity. That means a 30A circuit should have a maximum load of of (30*0.8) = 24A. With the 30 amp breaker you must have at least #10 wires feeding the circuit.
