If your furnace is 20 kW unit, the maximum amperage it can draw is 83 amps at 240 volts. If it is a two stage unit the first element will be the 5 kW and the second element sill be the 15 kW element. If you are connecting the unit to a 60 amp breaker it will only allow either the 5 or the 15 kW element on but not both.
The breaker in the unit needs a voltage source brought to it from the service distribution. If this is a new installation, call an electrician as permits should be taken out for your protection. By doing this, if a fault occurs and a fire is started the first thing that the insurance company wants to know is if the installation was inspected. If you have no documentation you might not be covered.

Why does my heating and air conditioner in my house have 3 double pole breakers - a 30 40 and 50?
In North America a two pole breaker usually represents a load that requires a 240 volt source. Larger current load appliances use 240 volts to reduce the feeder size and there by reduces the cost factor when wiring a building. Two pole 15 amp breakers are used for kitchen counter split receptacles.Two pole 20 amp breakers can be used for baseboard heating and hot water tanks.Two pole 30 amp breakers can be used for clothes dryers and some heating units.Two pole 40 amp breakers can be used for electric ranges.Two pole 50 amp breakers are not common in home wiring circuits. It might be used for an electric furnace or some other high current device.
Can double pole circuit breakers be changed into single to create more room in the pannel box?
No, double pole circuit breakers cannot be changed into single pole breakers. The breakers are designed for specific functions and changing them can create a safety hazard. If more space is needed in the panel box, consider upgrading to a larger panel box or rearranging the circuits to free up space.
Where do you use double pole circuit breakers?
For 220v circuits
How many 20 amp double pole breakers can go into a 100 amp panel?
The provisioning of the breakers in a panel has a physical limitation regarding how many breakers will fit and a load calculation based on what devices the panel has to support. Your question really applies to both types of breakers. There are rules of thumb for sizing and populating the panel. This information is in the National Electric Code. If you have an existing panel and a new application requiring additional breakers for 220 Volt applications, the current draw in panel can be measured by an electrician and you will know what additional load you can support. If breakers fit physically in the panel, but connected devices exceed the total current capacity you will trip the main panel breaker. At this point you would need to get an electrician involved.
What breakers are compatible with ge breaker boxes?
GE circuit breakers with catalog numbers ranging from THQL1115 through to THQL1150 can be substituted like for like with Cutler-Hammer circuit breakers coded CL115 through to CL150, ITE Siemens circuit breakers coded Q115 through to Q150 and Square D circuit breakers coded HOM115 through to HOM150. These are single pole breakers. GE circuit breakers with catalog codes from THQL2115 through to THQL2150 can be substituted with Cutler-Hammer circuit breakers CL215 through to CL250, Square D circuit breakers HOM215 through to HOM250 and ITE Siemens circuit breakers Q215 through to Q250 of the same amperage and voltage. These are double pole breakers.

Are tandem breakers safe to use in residential electrical panels?
Tandem breakers, also known as double-pole breakers, are generally safe to use in residential electrical panels as long as they are installed properly and meet the electrical code requirements. However, it is important to consult with a licensed electrician to ensure that the panel can accommodate tandem breakers without overloading the circuit.

What appliances are connected to double circuit breakers used in the distribution panel?
240V appliances, such as range, dryer, air conditioner.
What brand of circuit breakers will fit a Gould electrical panel?
Siemens circuit breakers are compatible with Gould electrical panels. Siemens acquired the Gould brand, so their circuit breakers are designed to fit and work with Gould panels. Be sure to double-check the specifications to ensure compatibility before installation.
What might be wrong if your furnace dryer water heater and well are on a 240V and they all have juice but nothing will turn on?
Check voltage on top side of breaker each leg to ground should read 110 if not check main fuses on incoming side to be sure 220 is present,then check secondary side of fuses 220 line to line 110 from line to ground.I think you will find that one leg is open. Did you use a 1 inch double breaker by chance.You need to use regular double pole breakers so you get volts from both phases,The skinny double breakers are the same width as a single 1 inch breaker but they are running off one phase and that would cause your problem.
What are the differences between a double bass and an electric double bass?
The main difference between a double bass and an electric double bass is the way they produce sound. A double bass is an acoustic instrument that produces sound through the vibration of its strings and resonance of its wooden body. An electric double bass, on the other hand, uses electronic pickups to convert the vibrations of the strings into electrical signals, which are then amplified through speakers. This allows the electric double bass to produce a louder sound and be easily heard in amplified settings, such as concerts or recordings.
