I am an Electrician, and I have never heard of 10A breakers. So I will tell you how we wire houses. A 15A breaker is normally loaded to 80%, IOW we allow 12 outlets on a circuit. for a motor we allow 300% for starting surges, so a motor drawing 5 amps would have a 15A breaker. But connected loads are not always on at the same time. So to give an idea about circuit loading in my house I have the following equipment on one circuit.
2x175W Mh lights. 1x150W heater 1x75W heater 1x60W heater 2xAC 301 powerheads 1xSeio 620 1XFluval 304 1xFluval 204 My computer + my bathroom, + room light etc. That should give you an idea.
