DOUBLE POLE CIRCUIT BREAKERS

Double-pole circuit breakers are "double-wide" breakers that take up two

slots in the breaker box. They have a toggle switch that's twice the length
of the toggle on single-pole breakers. These breakers are designed to
handle higher voltage and power circuits, such as large appliances. They
feature two electrical contacts that operate simultaneously to interrupt the
current in two separate circuits. Double-pole breakers are usually rated for
current in a range between 30 and 60 amps.
