Impossible to say without more details. It depends entirely on the voltage of the supply and whether it's single-phase or three-phase.

How much you can use in 200A breaker?
200. Although you cannot exceed current ratings on any branch circuit without tripping that circuit. You need to make sure that you do not exceed 160 continuous load amps to meet NEC requirements of not overloading a breaker to more than 80% under continuous load.
How much 1200 watts on one breaker?
Not a whole lot. Assuming that is 120 volt power, 1200 watts would be 10 amps. A standard breaker is 15 amps.
Can too much current on a breaker cause it to blow up?
The breaker will trip to the off position because of the heat caused by more amps than it is rated for. Only lightening strikes do odd things. And a loose breaker connection can arch causing limited damage to breakers. <<>> Only under extreme circumstances, like a lightning strike to the mast head. Breakers have a current interrupting rating. For a small home distribution breaker rated at 15 amps, it has an maximum RMS symmetrical interruption of 10,000 amperes. The breaker will not blow up but it will stop the current flow up to 10,000 amps. Under normal operation the breaker will trip when it reaches its operational set point, meaning that when the load current goes beyond the breakers rating, which is found on the handle, it will disconnect the circuit load.
What size of circuit breakers needed to run two 1500 watt heaters in parallel that are 240 volts?
I = W/E. 1500/240 = 6 amps for each heater. In parallel the total connected load will be 12 amps. A #14 conductor is rated at 15 amps and de rated to 80% can carry 12 amps continuous. The breaker needed for this would be a two pole 15 amp breaker. If this is a new installation I would use a #12 conductor for the two heaters on a two pole 20 amp breaker. The conductors will run much cooler using a larger size.
Why your electric dryer makes breaker hot?
If the circuit breaker to a dryer, or to any load, keeps getting hot and trips the breaker, then either the load is pulling too much current or there is a loose connection in the breaker or breaker panel. Either condition must be fixed to reduce the risk of fire.
What size of circuit breaker do you use for 25amperes induction motor?
Read the specification plate on the motor to determine the amount of current that the motor uses, as well as the voltage and phase. Most likely, it will be a 3 phase motor, so you can't simply connect it to your house wiring, but without sufficient information, it is impossible to tell you all of the specifics. <<>> The code book rates the amperage of a three phase 40 HP motor by different voltages. at 200 volts - 120 amps, 230 volts - 104 amps, 460 volts - 52 amps and 575 volts - 52 amps. A breaker for a motor has to be sized to 250% of the motors full load amps. Also the wire size for a motor has to be 125% of the motor full load amps.

What could be causing your ir-12 diedrich coffee roaster to blow a breaker in your breaker box?
First, determine the current draw of the coffee roaster, then check the breaker size. Using the formula, Watts = Amps * Volts, determine if the current draw of the coffee roaster is anywhere near the maximum current draw of the breaker. For example, if the roaster is using 14 Amps, and the circuit breaker is rated at 15 amps, that doesn't give much room for anything else on the circuit. Add up all of the current of all devices on the circuit (the one that trips the breaker) and either move things around so that you don't have too much load on a single circuit, or you may need to bring in an electrician to run a new circuit. If you are ABSOLUTELY certain that your appliances are nowhere near the rating of the circuit breaker, you could have a faulty breaker, in which case, bring in an electrician to replace the breaker.
6 amps one way switch how much load?
To answer this question the voltage must be known. Watts = Amps x Volts.
Why would i need a 20-Amp Single-Pole Switch insted of a 15 Amp?
You would need a 20 amp switch when the load controlled by the switch can draw as much as 20 amps. If you have a 20 Amp breaker supplying the circuit then you need to size all switches and outlets on that circuit to 20 amps.
How much current will flow in a circuit with a 12 VDC source connected to a 1K load?
In a 12VDC circuit with a 1K load, there will be 12ma of current. (Ohm's law: Volts = Amps * Ohms, so Amps = Volts / Ohms.)
How much amps in a 3 v circuit?
This cannot be answered without knowing what size load you are connecting to the circuit. In the absence of a load, with a dead short, you will get a flow of amps at the maximum that the power supply can provide. I have no way of knowing what that is.
How much effort is required to lift the load if the load is 360N?
This will occur if the fulcrum is closer to the load than the effort.
