If you ran a wire between two 110V breakers, then you've created a phase to phase dead short. You could arc you entire panel. Sounds like you don't know what you're doing in an electrical panel. Get a qualified electrician to install a 220V breaker before you start a fire or get hurt!
While you can physically do this it violates the Electrical Code. 110 Volt and 220 Volt receptacles are required by the Electrical Code to be on separate breakers for safety reasons, this would put them on the same 220 Volt breaker.
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.Breakers are rated in amperage and by the amount of poles that they have. Your classification of a 220 breaker is described in electrical terminology as a two pole breaker.Choosing the amperage of the two pole breaker depends upon the 220 volt load that it feeds.Two pole breakers for 220 volt loads.Single pole breakers for 120 volt loads.If the service is only 120 volt then every other bus bar in the panel will be energized. If the panel is a 120/240, then every bus bar in the panel will be energized.This is how and why a 240 volt load requires a two pole breaker.To the answer, yes you an use a two pole breaker in a 120 volt service but only one side of the breaker will have voltage on it depending on where it is situated in the panel board.
In an emergency it will heat half your oven or half your water heater because you only have half the supply voltage. The wattage must still meet the demand for the half power, Some special connections may be necessary to use 110 temporarly on the 220 circuits.
A 220 VAC breaker can be single pole or double pole depending on the application. For standard 220 VAC circuits like most household appliances, a double pole breaker is typically used. However, in certain situations where only one hot wire is needed, a single pole breaker can be used for 220 VAC circuits.
It depends on the amperage of the circuit breaker. For a typical 15 amp circuit breaker, you can run up to 12 outlets or receptacles. However, it is recommended to consult a qualified electrician to determine the appropriate number of outlets based on the specific electrical load requirements of the devices being used.
LCM of 110 and 220 is 220.
your house has 220 you must use a 2 pole breaker. your wiring will change ,not a do it your selfer call someone

They are in tandem because they power a 220 VAC circuit, rather then a 110 VAC circuit.

Generally, no. Some welding machines are designed to run on 110 volts and they are able to weld using limited power. However, a welding machine that is design to run on 220 volts requires more power than can safely be provided by a typical 110 outlet (even if a converter is used). Here's why:110 Outlets typically only have #12 (or even #14) gauge wire, which can only support so much power before becoming dangerously hot.110 Outlets also typically tie into a 15 or 20 amp breaker (or fuse) at the panel, and if more amperage is used, the breaker will trip.Most 220 volt welding machines require a 220 volt outlet that is fed with either #8 or #6 gauge wire, and ties into the panel with a 2 pole breaker rated for at least 30 amps.
110 x 2 = 220
You will need a multimeter to check a 220 volt breaker. You should unplug appliances that go to that particular breaker. Use the multimeter at the breaker to check the voltage. If it shows 220, then the breaker is okay. If it doesn't, then the breaker is no good.
WHAT????? I hope this is just a comment that you have a caprice and has nothing to do with either 110 or 220 volts Heater element implies either a furnace or a water heater. Where are you checking the voltage? If at the outlet and you only have voltage on one side of the plug it's most likely a fuse or breaker. If there is 220 at the outlet but element is not heating it is the element. Under no circumstance get 110 or 220 anywhere near a 94 Caprice classic
Take out the double pole breaker, place the white wire on the grounding bar along with the ground wire, install singe pole breaker(size needed) attach black wire onto new breaker and you now have 110 line.
200. That is to say, 220 is 110% of 200.
In an emergency it will heat half your oven or half your water heater because you only have half the supply voltage. The wattage must still meet the demand for the half power, Some special connections may be necessary to use 110 temporarly on the 220 circuits.
