No, it is not safe to use two 20 amp circuit breakers to protect a 40 amp circuit.

It is important to use the correct size circuit breaker for the amperage rating of the circuit.


How much outlet to 20 amp breaker?

No. Receptacle is rated at 15 amps and the wire that feeds it will also rated at 15 amps. Since it will take 20 amps to trip the breaker the wire will be become overloaded.
