Does a double 50 amp breaker make a 100 amp?
No, a double pole 50 amp breaker protects a 240 volt supply at 50 amps. The number that is on the handle of the breaker is the amperage that the breaker will trip at if an overload occurs on the circuit.
What size amp circuit breaker should be used for a well?
A 15-amp circuit breaker is typically used for a well pump that operates on a 120-volt power supply. For well pumps that operate on a 240-volt power supply, a 20-amp circuit breaker is typically used. It's important to check the manufacturer's specifications for the exact amp rating required for your specific well pump.
Can you replace a 20 amp circuit breaker with a 25 amp circuit breaker?
No. The breaker must protect the circuit components such as wiring, outlets and switches that are connected to the breaker. Therefore if you have a 30 amp circuit as dictated by its components you need to protect it with a 30 amp or less breaker.
Can a circuit breaker be tripped by using 20 amp sockets instead of 15 amp sockets?
A circuit breaker protects the wires that the devices are connected to. If the devices that are connected to the circuit are 20 amps the wire size should be #12 wire fed from a 20 amp breaker. This breaker should not trip unless the circuit is overloaded or a fault occurs on the circuit. If the devices that are connected to the circuit are15 amps the wire size should be #14 wire fed from a15 amp breaker. This breaker should not trip unless the circuit is overloaded or a fault occurs on the circuit. Putting 20 amp sockets on this 15 amp circuit will work but the circuit is limited to the amount of load that can be plugged in. You will not get the full capacity of the 20 socket because the breaker will trip at 15 amps.
Does square D make a circuit breaker with a 15 amp and 20 amp breaker in the same breaker?
No tandem breakers are of the same value.
Does a double 50 amp breaker make a 100 amp?
No, a double pole 50 amp breaker protects a 240 volt supply at 50 amps. The number that is on the handle of the breaker is the amperage that the breaker will trip at if an overload occurs on the circuit.

It's important to check the manufacturer's specifications for the exact amp rating required for your specific well pump.
How do you turn a 30 amp circuit into a 15 amp cicuit?
Replace the 30 Amp Breaker with a 15 Amp breaker.
What are the circuit requirements to power 8 computers?
It depends on how much current each computer draws. An average rating for a computer power supply for a home computer is about 250 watts. A 20 amp circuit breaker can handle about 8 of this type of computer.
Can you replace a 20 amp circuit breaker with a 25 amp circuit breaker?
No. The breaker must protect the circuit components such as wiring, outlets and switches that are connected to the breaker. Therefore if you have a 30 amp circuit as dictated by its components you need to protect it with a 30 amp or less breaker.
Can you upgrade a 15 Amps circuit breaker for a 40 Amp for a 8.5 Watt shower?
Not unless you change the wiring for that circuit. The breaker protects the wiring and if you install a 40 amp breaker on a 15 amp wire circuit you will have a fire in your home.
What is the maximum amperage capacity of a 150 amp circuit breaker?
The maximum amperage capacity of a 150 amp circuit breaker is 150 amps.
What is the maximum amperage capacity of the circuit breaker 30 amp?
The maximum amperage capacity of a 30 amp circuit breaker is 30 amps.
What is the maximum current rating for a 15 amp circuit breaker?
The maximum current rating for a 15 amp circuit breaker is 15 amps.
What is the maximum amperage capacity of a 60 amp circuit breaker?
The maximum amperage capacity of a 60 amp circuit breaker is 60 amps.
What is the maximum amperage capacity of a 90 amp circuit breaker?
The maximum amperage capacity of a 90 amp circuit breaker is 90 amps.
What is the maximum current capacity of a 100 amp circuit breaker?
The maximum current capacity of a 100 amp circuit breaker is 100 amps.
