 Circuit Breakers and CB

 Circuit Breakers In almost all cases, a modern circuit breaker is designed to hold a 15-amp breaker for maximum protection generally in most rooms. However, many homeowners replace those original 15-amp breakers with 20-amp breakers. This can be described as a fatal mistake because 20-amp breakers are meant for major appliances, not everyday use. Putting around the wrong breaker allows overloads to occur without tripping the breaker, increasing the risk of serious overheating and perchance a fire.
