This will depend upon the current draw of the ACs as well as the size of the circuit. My guess, based upon what 240V units tend to draw, is that you probably won't be able to, especially if the circuit is only 15 Amps. With a 20 Amp, you MIGHT be able to. You will have to check the nameplates on each unit to find what the current draw is and ADD THEM TOGETHER. And remember that AC units should be considered a continuous load. This is when a load may run for three hours or longer. Here, you must "derate " the circuit by 80%. So a 15 Amp circuit should only have a load of 12 Amps; while a 20 Amp should have a load of only 16 Amps. My best "guesstimate" is that they will need their own circuit.
What else can I help you with?
What size wire for 220 volt dryer from breaker to outlet?
For a 220 volt dryer, a 10-gauge wire is typically used for the connection from the breaker to the outlet. It is important to ensure that the wire matches the amperage rating of your breaker to maintain safety and efficiency in the circuit. Consulting local electrical codes and a professional electrician is recommended for accurate specifications.
How big of breaker do you use for 115 volt?
Depends on the wire size used in the circuit. If you use AWG # 14 wire you must use a 15 amp breaker. If it is wired with AWG # 12 wire then you use a 20 amp breaker. If a AWG # 10 wire is used then a 30 amp breaker is required. The breaker protects the wiring from overheating so you must use the proper size breaker for the wire used.
Will a 14-2 gage wire work for a 240 volt 15 amp breaker?
No. You will need a 14/3 with Ground.
What is the largest wire that will fit in a 40 amp breaker?
You should not use any wire smaller than 8 AWG COPPER in a 40 amp breaker. If you have any questions about your application, you should contact a local electrical contractor for your own safety.
How do I convert existing 3 wire 220 volt 20 amp breaker wire system to 110 volt from the box to the recepticle?
Assuming there is no neutral: 1) Turn off the breaker. 2) Disconnect 1 of the 2 hot wires from the breaker and connect it to the neutral bar (Recommend phase taping the wire white :) ) Remember which wire you used as the neutral, in a home you will most likely have a black and a red. I would keep the black hot, and phase tape the red wire white. If it's not long enough you can wire nut another white wire onto it to make it reach the neutral bar. 3) Leave the breaker OFF, at the receptacle, change it to a 120 volt receptacle. Take the wire you made the neutral, and connect it to the white screw on the 120 v receptacle, and take the black to the hot. Ground to the ground screw. Make sure you phase tape the red wire at the receptacle white as well. 4) turn the breaker on 5) test the receptacle with a meter or receptacle testing device for correct wiring.

What are the differences between a single pole and a double pole breaker?
A single pole breaker controls one wire and is used for 120-volt circuits, while a double pole breaker controls two wires and is used for 240-volt circuits.
What is the Largest amperage single phase 120 volt breaker made?
6000amps <<>> The above answer must have big lugs to accommodate 6000 amp capacity wire. In my breaker catalogue the largest 120 volt single pole breaker is 70 amps, 277 volt single pole is 150 amps and 347 volt single pole is 100 amps. The 120 volt single pole breaker occupies two opposed slots because of its length.
What is the difference between a single pole and a double pole breaker?
A single pole breaker controls one hot wire and is used for 120-volt circuits, while a double pole breaker controls two hot wires and is used for 240-volt circuits.
How do you wire a 277 to 120 volt transformer?
The voltage 277 volts is a three phase line to neutral voltage of a 480 volt system. What is needed for the protection of the transformer is a two pole breaker from the 480 volt CDP (Central Distribution Panel). The breaker will be sized to the KVA of the transformer. The wire will be sized to the breaker plus 25%. The electrical code requires that on motor and transformer feeders, they be sized to 125% of the total current capacity of the equipment.
Will a 14-2 gage wire work for a 240 volt 15 amp breaker?
No. You will need a 14/3 with Ground.
How to wire a 240 breaker correctly?
To wire a 240-volt breaker correctly, first turn off the power to the circuit. Connect the red and black wires to the breaker terminals, the white wire to the neutral bus bar, and the green or bare wire to the ground bus bar. Make sure all connections are secure and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
What is the largest wire that will fit in a 40 amp breaker?
You should not use any wire smaller than 8 AWG COPPER in a 40 amp breaker. If you have any questions about your application, you should contact a local electrical contractor for your own safety.
Can you use 60 amp breaker for 110 V at 110 ft and what wire is best?
A breaker is based on wire size, as the breaker protects the wire and not the load. This is a voltage drop question. A #3 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 60 amps for 110 feet on a 110 volt system.
How do I convert existing 3 wire 220 volt 20 amp breaker wire system to 110 volt from the box to the recepticle?

What size wire and breaker is needed via 20ft length for a Westonhouse 1500w floodlight?
If it is a 110 volt light it can safely run on a 20 amp circuit with AWG # 12 wire.
