Can I add a circuit breaker wired in parrell to a current breaker to reduce the load on the breaker?
No, add new breaker,find a junction box and split the series, or add a box and split the load. You only need to do this if the breaker is tripping from overload. 12ga wire should have a 20amp breaker not a 15amp. If I understand your question,wired in parallel, this would be one hot connected to two breakers, first off two breakers is 220v not 120v , and 220v has two hot wires. Never connect two breakers together on one line.
Can you install a tandem breaker?
Tandem breakers, often called split breakers or double breakers, provide two separate circuits in the space of a regular sized breaker opening. Every circuit breaker panel has a limited number of circuit openings available. The problem is that when the openings are all used up and you still need to add another circuit, what do you do? You could change the electrical panel or double up circuits on a breaker, but this could place too much load on a particular circuit. So what then? The answer that many have found is a tandem breaker. This type breaker is the same size as any other breaker, but it has its difference. This breaker sports two smaller breakers built into one regular sized breaker. Each has its own breaker switch and the breaker snaps in just like a regular breaker. With this simple innovation, you can add a circuit and protect the circuit on its own dedicated line.
Can you split hot water tank electric to stove?
No. Each circuit has to have its own dedicated circuit. The breaker and wire size differ between the two appliances.

What is the appropriate mini split breaker size for my air conditioning unit?
The appropriate mini split breaker size for your air conditioning unit depends on the unit's electrical requirements. It is recommended to consult the unit's specifications or an electrician to determine the correct breaker size for safe and efficient operation.
Can you use a 2 pole breaker for a 120 volt single phase circuit?
No, a 2 pole breaker is designed for a 240-volt circuit or for two separate 120-volt circuits that are out of phase with each other. For a 120-volt single-phase circuit, you would typically use a single-pole breaker.
Define electrical panel board and what its purpose?
Answer for UK, Europe and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.A domestic power supply enters the property as a single-phase two-wire circuit with a large fuse or cut-out. The distribution panel splits the circuit off into several smaller circuits each with its own fuse or circuit breaker.A simple example in Europe would the nominal 230 v supply which would have a 60 amp fuse for a typical small property. The distribution panel would split that off into a 30 amp ring circuit, a 30 amp cooker circuit and a 10 amp lighting circuit. The advantage is that a fault in one circuit would blow only one of the fuses and would not disconnect the entire supply to the property.
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.
What is a tripped circuit breaker?
As far as a fuse like in a car or even larger versions of the fuses in a car you should be able to see inside the little wire; if the fuse has burnt amd is split in two parts the fuse has been broken. In a circuit breaker it works a little differently, instead of burning out and needing to be replaced, the breaker will "trip" this means there is too much current being drawn through the circuit and the setup cannot handle it. A breaker instead will click to the off position and the switch will flip from on to off. These are much easier to locate than a burnt fuse because in a breaker box usually all the switches are turned to on and in the same direction, so the one breaker that did trip will be pointed in the opposite direction. Simply flip the switch from off to on and its been reset. If the breaker keeps tripping then there is either a short or you have too many loads (appliances) running on that circuit, for instance a power strip with 6 things plugged into it all running at the same time.
How do you split a 240 volt outlet to make a 120 volt outlet in USA Canada etc?
For USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz power supply service.In order for 240 to be split, there has to be a 'neutral' involved, so that the 240 has a common reference around the splitting point. Electrically, it would look like, 120-0-120 with the neutral wire in the center.Usually a 240 volt incoming line can be split at the main panel with the proper breakers, etc. to form a new 120 volt circuit. This is the only safe way to do it because you need the protection of a proper-sized breaker for the new 120 Volt circuit.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 two 110 V ciruits use the same white or return wire?
Yes, it is called a three wire circuit. The two circuits have to be adjacent legs in the distribution panel, they can not be on the same leg. Kitchen counter split circuits use this configuration. The circuit wiring has to be protected by a two pole breaker so that if any work is done on the circuit both legs will be disconnected when the breaker is turned off. If two single pole breakers are used in this installation there should be a common tie bar to connect the two handles of the single pole breakers together to make the job conform to the electrical code.
What are some common reasons for a disconnect issue in a mini split system?
Common reasons for a disconnect issue in a mini split system include a faulty connection between the indoor and outdoor units, a tripped circuit breaker, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a power supply problem.
