Im a newbie
Im still trying to grasp the whole concept of 220 and have a couple of questions
1. 220v 30 amp breaker will the breaker trip when it reaches 30
amps per leg or 15 amps per leg?
2. 200 amp service Main breaker will it trip when it reaches 200 amps per leg or 100 per leg or some combiniation of 200?
3. 200 amp service is it really 400 amps, 200 on each leg to neutral?
the questions are all interrelated and to you experienced guys are simple but
as stated im a newb and had to ask
if there is another thread about this point me the way as id like to have a good handle on this
thanks in advance
