  • We can expand on that a bit. A breaker does not simply open at its rated current. It should actually never open at the rated current. At 2x the current it takes some time. At 10x the rated current it still takes WAY too long. Traces, components, etc. everything are long vaporized at that point. And this makes sense too, they protect the wiring in the house, not devices with unknown power draw and current spikes.
