How many amps is standard in a common household circuit breaker?
For the US, the two common values are 15 and 20 amps, with 20 being the most common in newer homes and 15 more common in older homes. Which one is used is determined by what size of wiring is run. 15A breakers feed 14 AWG wire, and 20A breakers must use 12 AWG or larger. If you simply replace a 15A breaker with a 20, you will create a fire hazard.
What can you use to find a short-circuit?
