The thing to keep in mind is the purpose of the breaker, protection of the wire, not the device plugged into the outlet.
#14 = 15 amps
#12 = 20 amps
#10 = 30 amps
etc etc
max circuit load is 80 %
yes and no. Depends on the duty rating of the breaker, whether the device is continious or non continious etc etc. . Hell some breakers dont trip at all. Federal Pioneer anyone? Dont worry, they finally fixed them hehe.
