The Key That Falls By Itself
Circuit breakers are not meant to protect appliances, they are meant to protect the house from fires! If you put a circuit breaker with a very high amperage on a very thin wire, the wire will melt before the breaker acts. This calculator applies the 25% safety margin required by standards (like the American NEC standard) to indicate the perfect off-the-shelf value (16A, 20A, 32A, etc).
