Someone more familiar with #eletrical #wiring and #CircuitBreakers than me please help me understand something: as far as I know, my bathroom has at most a 20 amp fuse. Yet my wife was able to run the heater on low (reported 1500 watts low) and hair dryer (reported 1875 watts) simultaneously. By the math of an online calculator, this should've been just shy of 30 amps. American circuits, so should be 120 volts. Did I miss-math? #electricity #gfci #power #pleaseboost
