How do you wire a 15 amp 120V breaker in a 240v 30 amp breaker panel?

Look to see if the 30 amp panel is fed with a two wire or a three wire. If it is a two wire then you are out of luck. If the panel is fed with a three wire then the panel should have the neutral terminated in the panel. It is this neutral that you need for 120 volt connections. You didn't state how many panel slots there are in the panel. If you are able install a 15 amp breaker into the panel and connect the wires going to the load. The black wire will go to the breaker and the white wire will go to the neutral bar in the panel.


Is it safe to have two black wires two white wires and two ground wires on a single breaker?

Hopefully just the black wires are on the breaker. Two circuits on one breaker. Shouldn't be a problem. It would depend on how many outlets or lights were on the breaker in total. Even then, there is very little chance of something drawing current from every outlet at the same time. The only thing is you can't put two wires under one breaker (by code). You would have to wire nut them with a pig-tail then just put the one wire under the breaker.


Where could I find your main circuit breaker and a siemen panel?

The main circuit breaker is typically mounted to the meter base, and is usually outside, where the electrical service comes into the house. Siemens is a large manufacturer of electrical components. You should be able to find Siemens equipment at several electrical supply wholesalers in your area. Note that many of the electrical wholesalers will NOT sell to the public; you may need to find an electrician or other contractor to purchase Siemens equipment.


How many electric meter is use breaker 64a?

The number of electric meters compatible with a 64A breaker depends on the specific design and requirements of the electrical system. Typically, a single electric meter can be used with a breaker of that capacity, provided it is rated for the load and application. However, multiple smaller meters could also be connected to a single 64A breaker if they are appropriately configured for load distribution. Always consult a qualified electrician for specific installations and safety compliance.


Where do you connect the ground cable in a panel with no ground bus?

Many panels do not have a ground buss. Look for a set of screws mounted directly on the back of the panel adjacent to the breaker outputs. These are to be used for the ground wires. Square D panels are one of many that use this configuration.

Is it OK to have 250 A of breakers in a 100 A panel?

Yes. Many installations have breaker totals higher that the main breaker of the panel. It is worked on a percentage basis. Not all of the breakers will be on at the same time. In a home, on a 100 amp panel the average load is 50 - 60 amps. The 100 amp main breaker is protecting the 100 amp rated panel board. If the load current goes higher that the panel board is rated at, the main breaker will trip to protect the board.


How many wires can be connected on to a 20 amp breaker in NH?

Code only allows one wire to be connected to a single pole breaker. Any additional circuitry has to be done in a junction box downstream from the breaker.

Function of panel meter?

What is a Panel Meter? A panel meter is an instrument that displays an input signal in either a digital or analog form. Many panel meters also include alarm options as well as the ability to connect and transfer data to a computer. OMEGA's iSeries panel meters are available with an ethernet option which allows the panel meter reading to be accessed across a local area network (LAN) or even through the internet. directly quoted from here: http://www.omega.com/PanelMeters.html

How many wires connect in a two pole breaker?

A two-pole breaker typically connects to four wires: two hot wires, one neutral wire, and one ground wire. The two hot wires are usually connected to separate phases of a split-phase electrical system, allowing the breaker to handle 240 volts. The neutral wire is connected to the load if required, and the ground wire is for safety. In some applications, the neutral may not be used, especially in certain types of equipment.


Where is main breaker switch?

a circuit breaker trips on overload,if this breaker has tripped many times it may be worn out,if there is a overload happening the breaker is doing it s job keeping you safe.Main breaker needs to be replaced when your meter has been pulled(removed from metersocket)Have a electrician look at it and verify problem, you should not attempt to change out yourself it will be live.......


Can multiple circuits be connected on one breaker?

Multiple wires can be connected to one breaker but the one breaker IS a circuit. As long as the load is not more than 80% of the breaker capacity (example: a 20 amp breaker can only have 16 amps or 1920 watts at 120 volts) then by code as long as the load is not a specialty outlet of some sort, you can have as many outlets you want.
