Typically:
Dryer -2 pole 30 amp
Washer - 1 pole 20
Dishwasher - 1 pole 20
Glass cooktop - 2 pole 30
Oven - 2 pole 30
4 ton package unit- 2 pole 30
Bath gfi - 1 pole 20
Etc?- Anyone's guess
And I stress "typically".
Do not just go out and buy these breakers because I say so.
Each appliance needs to be evaluated for load in amps or wattage, each has it's own derating of circuit size, usually 125% of nameplate load, to size the branch circuit wire and breaker size.
