How many plug-ins can you put on a 120V line with a 60A breaker?
Trojans08
Zero. 60A is far too high to power outlets directly. A fire will start far before the breaker blows. What you can do is use the 60A line to power a subpanel, and break the 60A line into 15A branch circuits to feed the outlets. As for the number of outlets you can install on that, you need to sit down and calculate your power needs. What do you plan to power with this? Where do you need outlets? What are your future needs? If you can answer these questions you know what you need. Remember the rule of thumb: your expected load should be no more than 80% of the breaker's capacity. I like the analogy of faucets on a pipe. You can put as many faucets as you want on it, but how many you can use simultaneously is another story. There is only so much water coming into the pipe for so many faucets. Same thing with outlets. You can put as many as you want on a circuit, how many you can use simultaneously safely is another story.

Can you download plugins for roblox studio?
Yes you can download plugins for Roblox Studio yet there is not many out there.
The voltage in one part of the house drops and in another part surges also lights dim here brighten there heaters etc won't work Other times all is fine When it occurs its on all circuits Help?
Does it surge past 120?? Drops are due too the fact that there are too many outlets or devices on one line. Trace the line that you have a voltage drop in and find which breaker it is, if the line that comes off the breaker is a 12 gauge wire and the breaker is a 15amp breaker you can put in a 20amp breaker. If the line is a 14 gauge line then you must leave the 15amp breaker in place and remove a device from it.
How many watts in 120v 60Hz?
You need amps
On a 220 volt circuit where the white wire is common how many volts would the red wire be?
3 OR 4 . you only need 2 wires for 220, 1 phase is 120v between 2 of them its 220v . you also should have a ground for the third wire ,and the newer stuff requires a neutral or white wire for the 4th wire. hope i helped , D
Where might one go to learn more about VST plugins?
VST Planet and PluginBoutique are both websites where someone can find more information about VST plugins. Some VST plugins are free, but many others are licensed software, and a fee must be paid for their use.
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.
What is mean by auto re-closer in high voltage breaker?
Many high-voltage overhead line faults are temporary in nature -e.g. a branch hitting a line conductor during a storm. An 'autorecloser' mechanism is designed to automatically reclose a circuit breaker after it has tripped. If the fault has cleared itself, then the circuit breaker will remain closed; if not, the autorecloser mechanism can be set to reclose the circuit breaker several times (typically 3) before, finally, locking the circuit breaker open. Autoreclosers are often used in conjuction with 'sectionalisers'; these are non-load breaking switches which will disconnect sections of line towards the end of a feeder, in the hope that any fault has existed beyond that point and will be cleared before the autorecloser recloses the circuit breaker.
How many volts normal home 400 amp service?
120v /240v
Do you have a plugin for chrome?
Yes, there are many plugins present for chrome. This helps it to increase it's functionality.
How many volts can you draw off of a 15amp breaker?
It's the amps that are controlled by the breaker not the volts. You can have a 600 volt 15 amp breaker, you can have a 347 volt 15 amp breaker. The breaker will trip when you exceed 15 AMPS.
How many 120V circuits are in a breaker circuit box?
It depends entirely on the specific application and the rating and form factor of the box. If you add up all the amperage ratings in the box it will typically exceed the total amperage rating of the box on the theory that at any given time only a portion of the circuits are used.
Considering 100A 240V service has 2 poles at 100A each is the total usable power actually 200A at 120V?
No, amperage is not additive, but a constant. Think of power as water, its always the same temperature, hot (amps). The pressure is variable (volts). The true answer is undoubtedly more complex, but you get the point. If you need to draw 200 amps you would actually need a 400 amp service because code states you cannot have more than an 80% load on a breaker That's an interesting question and I had to run the theory through my brain a few times to confirm my answer. The answer is if you have a 100A 240V service, you could draw what appears to be 200A from that panel at 120V. If you install 100A 120V single pole breakers on each side of the panel (in reality this would be many breakers but let's keep it simple) then both breakers will operate just fine, giving the appearance of 200A. In reality, however, one breaker actually feeds through to the other breaker. The neutral only carries the unbalanced load so in this hypothetical situation the neutral at the panel carries 0A. So the answer to the question is...if you install ONLY 120v single pole breakers, you can run up to 200A on those circuits (or 80% of that as we have discussed.) But you are only running 100A on each leg of the service conductors and breaker.
