Why does my power go out when I have a 1000w microwave and a 2000w induction cooktop running both off the same plug board?How's that different to having two different wall plugs?Do I need to rearrange my wiring because I'm scared of fire and shit?Like, split high power things between different wall plugs?
>>2948960your gay and american>Do I need to rearrange my wiringEither that or stop being american, then you may be able to pull 5kW from any socket.
>>2948960Insulated gloves and turning the power off is also gay - just grab those wires and put them where you want them. It's fine.
>>2948960It's about how many amps you're pulling in a given moment. If you're drawing 120 volts through on any breaker in your home, and you have the stove and microwave on the same breaker you might pull too many amps for that individual breaker.You should find either a different outlet that's on a different breaker for your microwave or rewire the outlet you want to go to a different breaker.

>>29489601000w= 8.3 amps + 16.6 amps= you're tripping the 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker. You need to find a receptacle that isn't on the same circuit or install a dedicated circuit for the cooktop
>>2948960Wire gauge in the wall is much bigger, meaning it resist less with high currents, so you're not using a plug board as an electric heater.Thanks anyway, I now know why amerimutt houses are burning much more often than any other people's ones in the entire world.
