What is type of breaker for 41 amp's?
For a 41 amp load, you would typically use a 50 amp circuit breaker. The general rule is to select a breaker size that is 125% of the continuous load amps or equal to the load amps if it is not a continuous load. In this case, 41 amps is considered a continuous load, so you would round up to the nearest available breaker size, which is 50 amps.
What's a double breaker 20 amps and 30 amps?
A double breaker is a breaker that has 2 switches on it. One of the switches is 20 amps and the other is 30 amps.
What is the continuous current draw on a 20 amp circuit breaker?
Depends on what you have connected to the circuit. It is less than 10 amps or the breaker would trip. A rule of thumb is you design for about 80% load related to the breaker. For 20 amps that would equal 16 amps.
Does a double 30 amp breaker mean you have 60 amps for a 220 outlet?
breakers are rated by wire size, not voltage. the appliance manufacturer will probably specify amperage.
Is a 15 amp double tandem the same as a double pole 30 amp?
No the outlet holes are in parallel so the total ampacity of the receptacle is still 15 amps.
What is the maximum electrical load that can be handled by a 15 amp tandem breaker?
A 15 amp tandem breaker can handle a maximum electrical load of 15 amps.

What's a double breaker 20 amps and 30 amps?
A double breaker is a breaker that has 2 switches on it. One of the switches is 20 amps and the other is 30 amps.
How do you calculate the total amps in a breaker panel?
To calculate the total amps in a breaker panel, add up the amperage ratings of all the individual circuit breakers in the panel. This total amperage should not exceed the panel's maximum capacity, which is typically labeled on the panel itself.
What is the continuous current draw on a 20 amp circuit breaker?
Depends on what you have connected to the circuit. It is less than 10 amps or the breaker would trip. A rule of thumb is you design for about 80% load related to the breaker. For 20 amps that would equal 16 amps.
Does a double 30 amp breaker mean you have 60 amps for a 220 outlet?
breakers are rated by wire size, not voltage. the appliance manufacturer will probably specify amperage.
What is KA in Circuit Breaker?
KA stands for kilo-amps, or thousands of amps. Thus a 2KA breaker means it will trip when the load exceeds 2,000 amps.
What is the maximum amperage capacity of a Siemens breaker that is rated at 200 amps?
The maximum amperage capacity of a Siemens breaker rated at 200 amps is 200 amps.
Is it necessary to balance a house fuse panel to save electricity and if so why and how is it done?
A balanced house panel should be the ultimate goal. It will not save you electricity as the watt meter on the house monitors the use of power from both legs of the incoming power. To balance a panel you want the current from L1 to Neutral to equal L2 to Neutral. The neutral carries the unbalanced current between L1 and L2. A perfectly balanced panel will have no current on the neutral. It is done by knowing what the current draw is on every breaker. Then they are physically positioned so that they equal each other on the opposite leg. e.g. breaker 1 on leg L1 = 5 amps, breaker 2 on leg L2 = 10 amps, breaker 3 on leg L1 = 10 amps, breaker 4 on leg L2 = 5 amps. Total up all amperages on L1 and then on L2 , if they are equal then the panel is balanced with no current on the neutral.
Why does a 15 amp breaker trip while a small appliance is on?
The total amps on the circuit exceeds 15 amps. It is possible your appliance is drawing more than 15 amps, but more likely that there are other things on the circuit causing the total current to be exceeded.
What is the maximum current rating for the circuit breaker, rated at 150 amps?
The maximum current rating for the circuit breaker is 150 amps.
What is the maximum current rating for a 2 pole breaker that can handle 25 amps?
The maximum current rating for a 2 pole breaker that can handle 25 amps is 25 amps.
