Can a double pole 20 amp breaker be used with 12-2 wire for a single 220 circuit?
The term "double pole" usually means a breaker with 2 handles that attaches in the space as a normal single pole breaker. If this is what you mean, no, you cannot. There is no potential, or voltage, between the wire terminals. If by "double pole" you mean what is usually called a 2-pole breaker, which is a breaker with 2 handles that attaches in the space of 2 single pole breakers, then yes, you can use this breaker and 12/2 wire to produce a 220v circuit.
How do you define a pole in circuit breaker?
A pole In a circut breaker refers to the number of circuts it controls, single pole only controls one, double controls 2 at same time
Will a 2 pole 60 amp ITE Gould or Westinghouse breaker replace a 2 pole 60 amp T and B unit?
Yes, a 2 pole 60 amp ITE Gould or Westinghouse breaker can replace a 2 pole 60 amp T and B unit as long as they have the same voltage rating and fit properly in the panel. It is important to make sure that the replacement breaker is compatible with your specific panel model.
Can you use a 2 pole breaker for a 120 volt single phase circuit?
No, a 2 pole breaker is designed for a 240-volt circuit or for two separate 120-volt circuits that are out of phase with each other. For a 120-volt single-phase circuit, you would typically use a single-pole breaker.
Can you connect a 2 pole load to 2 single pole breakers?
No, it is not recommended to connect a 2 pole load to 2 single pole breakers as this can cause issues with proper circuit protection and may lead to electrical hazards. It is best to use a dedicated 2-pole breaker for a 2 pole load to ensure proper operation and safety.
What is the maximum current rating of a 2 pole 25 amp breaker?
The maximum current rating of a 2 pole 25 amp breaker is 25 amps.
What is the maximum current rating of a 2 pole 60 amp breaker?
The maximum current rating of a 2 pole 60 amp breaker is 60 amps.
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 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.

can a 20 amp double pole circuit breaker be used for 2 different 120 v circuits using 14 - 2 wire
What amp breaker for 12-2?
AWG 12/2 requires the use of a 20 amp single pole breaker.
What is the maximum electrical load that can be safely handled by a 20 amp breaker 2-pole?
The maximum electrical load that can be safely handled by a 20 amp 2-pole breaker is 40 amps.
What is the maximum electrical load that can be safely handled by a 15 amp 2 pole breaker?
The maximum electrical load that can be safely handled by a 15 amp 2 pole breaker is 30 amps.
What is the maximum electrical load that can be safely handled by a 15 amp breaker 2-pole?
The maximum electrical load that can be safely handled by a 15 amp 2-pole breaker is 30 amps.
What is a 2 pole breaker and how does it function in an electrical circuit?
A 2 pole breaker is a type of circuit breaker that controls two separate electrical circuits simultaneously. It is commonly used in applications where a higher voltage or larger electrical load is required. The 2 pole breaker functions by opening the circuit when an overload or short circuit occurs, thereby protecting the electrical system from damage.
