Is she Terra, Sarah, or both and just has a pen-name? Couple tiny typos, like the first "as"... "wanted me now to read it", and you have a "yo" where it was supposed to be an "up", but pretty solid!

Is that a collection of his stories? I was going to suggest "spirals" but if it's already in there…

Ah. I see you're just trolling and this is a riff on the Geico commercial where they're scared of how happy the savings make them feel.

I just had a long thread with them and from what I can see, you'd ALWAYS want the breaker to be the first point of failure, rather than an outlet or the wiring to it. Any chance you can look this over and see if we're all just talking past each other?

I think you should go back and see what you said and see if you misphrased something, then.

If the breaker is rated the same as the outlet, and the breaker trips, that is good. You don't want to start a fire in the outlet. You always want a circuit breaker to trip before excess heat is concentrated at another connection point.

That's an externality to what we're discussing though and is equally true of all configurations

Well for us it means the socket and breaker should coordinate, so you can't burn the outlet before something quits.

Well for our relevant current, the smallest home socket we have is 15 A, but if something did in fact start drawing more like 16, it would probably be a slow heat until the 15 amp circuit breaker tripped, but the breaker, the wiring, and the outlet will all be rated the same if they've been installed correctly.

But as to my direct question, you're telling me that an appliance that draws more than 10 A would still plug into a socket that is rated for 10 A? I mean they're both the same shape and there's no safety mechanism to prevent that physically?

HOW do you plug in an Appliance which draws more current than the socket is rated? Let me elaborate. Here in the USA where we use 120v, a 15 and a 20 amp socket will both let you plug in 15 amp items. A 15 amp socket will NOT, PHYSICALLY allow you to plug in a 20 amp appliance. they look like this

The good news is, my concerns about it being an actual living, breathing foreign girl trafficked to your location by UPS were unfounded.
