Yes you can get this in electrcal Department. Just make sure you're using the right size wire for the Appliance.The breaker is primarily in place to protect the wiring. So first thing you should evaluate is the size (gauge) of wiring on this circuit. For a summary of normal copper wire usage: Breaker 50A Wire Size 6 AWG Breaker 40A Wire Size 8 AWG Breaker 30A Wire Size 10 AWG Breaker 20A Wire Size 12 AWG It is also recommended practice on dedicated circuits like this (circuit breaker via single branch wire run to single outlet)that the outlet be also sized to the wire and breaker. Now with that said there is no real problem with changing your outlet to a 30A style and changing the breaker to a 30A two pole breaker as long as the wire is 10AWG or larger size. There would be a strong recommendation that you make sure to use a 4-prong type 30A outlet, as opposed to the 3-prong type, so that you get the safety ground connection all the way to the appliance.
