However, if the wiring is above the capacity, it's time to get the breaker replaced with one that will accept the "load".
Cajun,
It's "electric speak". Figure it this way...like plumbing, if a pipe has a certain volume of stuff that you want to put through it, and you try to put more into it than it can handle, the pipe will burst and you'll have a flood.
With electricity, it's a lot like that, except you'll have a fire.

Ok... I just spit my drink out (guess the pipe exploded there
)... HILARIOUS that you used that as an example. CLASSIC!
