The breaker you show is not a double pole breaker. It is two single pole breakers in a single 1" space, often called a twin breaker. They are made in 2-15 amp, 15-20 amp, 2-20 amp, 15-30amp, 20-30 amp and 2-30 amp and others. If you have two wires hooked up to the breaker, you have two separate 120 volt circuits. Be careful what you do, you may cause a fire, or worse zap yourself. Former electrical contractor.
Thanks, deltafired0g55s. I guess I've never seen one of them. But why would this be used, or even necessary? Seems like the ability to have two 120v wires stuck into a single breaker, which means 240v input? Or is it just twice as much current leading into the 5th wheels system? I don't understand what the use or need for this type of breaker when you it could do the same thing with a single pole breaker. Especially since this one is a 20A. And what circuit is the air conditioner running off of?
Also, I found the breakers to replace these two. Found a new Thomas and Betts pole/switch 20A breaker on ebay, and it's on its way. Found an Eaton single pole 30A breaker at Menards locally, so I'm waiting for the one one order to get here before I go back down to the property (30 miles away). Will report back with the results. Thanks again, folks!
its called a space saver. as we evolved and required more electrical loads on a house they came up with these (2 breakers in the space of 1) to be able to add cirvuts to older houses with outupgrading their old 70amp panels.
