Electrical Question ties into Polishing

[daveinsweethome]

just found out the amperages of certain outlets in my house without a tester or going to the panel. if the damn mytel blows/shuts off go to another outlet and if near the kitchen will be 20 amps and probably work. so damn proud of myself. ha

Iput a 50 amp breaker in for a 40 amp breaker 5 yrs ago in my shop and has been just fine .NO its not what some will say but mine is just fine deside for your self .you need the wright amps to run the buffer and if your runing to many things at one time then how will you be over heating any thing if the amps are not there to start with.

You've been lucky. Running too many appliances on one line will pop the breaker. That's what they're for, to prevent a fire breaking out. To be on the safe side, have an electrician check out your set up. You really need to be in compliance with the building code.

Being helpful is one thing, telling the OP to do something fundamentally incorrect, dangerous and against code is not helpful, it is malicious and irresponsible.
