I hope the 30A breaker is a double breaker so both sides of the 220
are opened when a fault occurs.

Yup. No worries.



Generally cascading breakers are sized to trip closest to the load. If the 30A tandem
breaker will protect the wires downstream, I'm not going to get picky. Code might be
another issue but I'm not going there tonight.
