10 kW at 220v will use 45.45 Amps. I'd recommend a 60A circuit, with a 60A breaker, but the heater or electric furnace should have "maximum fuse amps" rated on its nameplate. Above all, neverconnect wiring to a breaker that is rated higher than the maximum current capacity of the wire. In the case of 60A, use #6 AWG wire.

Is the receptacle a 110 or a 220 outlet? If it's a 110, it needs to be a 220. Are there other appliances, lights, etc. wired on the same outlet? If so, you may have to re-wire so that no other appliances, lights, etc. are wired into the same breaker. Usually the larger appliances such as air conditioners, central heat systems are wired to a separate breaker or fuse.
Phone an electrician urgently
your house has 220 you must use a 2 pole breaker. your wiring will change ,not a do it your selfer call someone
Sounds like it is a 220-240 Volt hot water heater. The black and red are connected to the 220 volts supply and the white is connected to Neutral. At the breaker panel red and black connect to the 2-pole 220 volt breaker and white goes to the neutral bus bar.
The well pump breaker is installed in two slots in your breaker box. You then run the correct size cable for the amperage of the pump to the area where the pressure tank is located. install a breaker or disconnect on the wall near the pressure tank and then connect the low pressure switch to the disconnect. Connect the pump to the low pressure switch.
Yes as long as you use the correct size breaker.
P=VI here P=8000 Watts v=220 V I=8000/220 = 37 A so you should use 37A Breaker
You will need a multimeter to check a 220 volt breaker. You should unplug appliances that go to that particular breaker. Use the multimeter at the breaker to check the voltage. If it shows 220, then the breaker is okay. If it doesn't, then the breaker is no good.
A 4500 watt element will work on a 20 amp breaker if it operates at 220 volts or less. It will simply trip the breaker if the load is greater than 20 amps at 220 volts.

They usually operate at 220 to 240 volts with a 30 amp breaker. So the answer is yes.

The wattage of the water tank is needed to size the breaker and the wire to feed the tank.
No. If your AC is currently running on a 30 amp 2 pole breaker, then it is a 220 volt unit. You cannot substitute one 60 amp single pole breaker as you'll only be supplying 110 volts and the AC unit won't work. In fact you could damage it.
Don't understand this question. If the breaker is on, then the dryer would function normally, if the breaker your are referring to is the one for the dryer. If the breaker is off then no function. A dryer runs on 220.
The plugs are different. The prongs are straight on one and angled on the other. The wire and breaker are the same. You can either change the outlet or the cord.
