An electrical connector once used in the United States that (in theory) was intended for ungrounded 250V applications. However, most tandem plugs used ended up being connected to 125V, as very little 250V (light-duty) equipment was ever made for the American market. Its blades are aligned in tandem (- -) as opposed to standard parallel plugs (| |). In the 1950s, the NEC was modified to officially classify tandem plugs (NEMA 2-15p) for use on 250V connections. The plug (sans a ground pin) was "banned" in the 1960s because it utilized two "hot" wires and no ground or neutral, thus being deemed "unsafe." Sometimes you will find "t-slot" receptacles in older homes; these were intended to accommodate both parallel and tandem plugs.
No, in North America the plug configuration will not allow that to happen. The blade configuration for 120 volts are in parallel where as the 220 volt configuration are in tandem.
No, there is a tandem single pole 3030 but GE does not make a tandem two pole 3030.
No, each segment of a tandem breaker is what the breaker rating on the handle states. Tandem breakers are used when there is no space left in the distribution panelboard. You get an extra circuit by removing the full size breaker and installing a tandem breaker,
I wnt to install a tandem breaker but my panel box won't let me. Why?
You can use a GE tandem breaker of the same size and specifications to replace another GE tandem breaker. It is important to refer to the electrical panel's specifications and the breaker compatibility list to ensure the right fit and proper function. Always consult a qualified electrician if unsure.
No, in North America the plug configuration will not allow that to happen. The blade configuration for 120 volts are in parallel where as the 220 volt configuration are in tandem.
Tandem Trunk is a trunk circuit which connects a tandem switch to another tandem switch or to a telephone company central office.
The Tagalog term for tandem is "samahan" or "magkasama".

One in front of the other
We drove the horses tandem. (One behind another) We saw pictures of tandem bicycles.
Normally, two. There are usually only two seats on a tandem bike.
Tandem by definition is two. So tandem axle is two axles. Example would be a tractor trailer having two axles next to each other is a tandem axle.
