2 pole breakers

[ddubbs103]

Probably a stupid question but on a two pole breaker say for instance a 2 pole 20A breaker, is each leg of the breaker 20A, 10A or ?. I am going through a brain fart.

20A per pole.

There are no stupid questions, but me saying that probably won't make you feel any better.

The reason 2-pole breakers can deliver more power is because you can get twice the voltage at the same current.

Or you can get twice the current at the same voltage. :grin:

Yeah-- but not at 1/2 price. :grin:

And sometimes you can get different current at some voltage.

The extremely rare 35/100 2P.

Throw that on your purchasers desk tell them you need 45 of them for an upcoming job.

"What do you mean, you can't get them for me!?!"

Pick your numbers, and I'll make you one. I can even make a mirrored-image matching one.
