Bear with me please.
Why would anyone install a double poll 30 amp breaker for "electric stove"? Would not a 30 amp single suffice? Why would anyone install a 40 amp double for central AC unit? What type of electrical component/appliance would need even a 30 double poll? or even a 20 double?

There are two common voltages used in homes. The first requires 120 volts which is supplied by a singlee pole breaker. The second is a 240 volt appliance (range, oven, a/c, electric dryer, well pumps) These are usually heavy duty appliances requiring more power.
Additionally, the higher rated breakers are there for the more power needed for these devices.
Simple explanation.
