    You first need to understand its not the breaker size but the gauge of your wiring. I think you'd need #10 wire with a 30 amp breaker. It would be rare to find #10 in most homes, do you know your wire size? Is this a home or a restaurant

    If these appliances have standard 15 or 20A plugs on them (which I suspect they do), and are 120V (which I suspect they are) then you have no choice but to go with 15 or 20A circuits. This would mean you need three 15 or 20A (20A definitely preferred) circuits, one for each.

    Is this your home or a commercial space?
