    As I said, that’s not how that works. You can have 10A incoming and 10A outgoing and the circuit load is still 10A.

      Idk man. It’s probably over my head but I still don’t think the wires themselves could take it. In my thought process you’ve got more electricity flowing around on the circuit and even if it gets used before getting to the breaker things are going to be heating up pretty quick.

      To me it sounds like trying to hook up a power plant to a data center via an indoor extension cord. It’s gonna melt.

        I do know, man.

        even if it gets used before getting to the breaker

        It would be both added and consumed after the breaker. Like if you had a 10A solar system connected to a dual outlet, and a 10A space heater on the other outlet, there would only be 10A flowing through the outlet, and nowhere else in the system

          Yes, I was conceding that point. I was then worried about the actual romex in the walls entirely contained after the breaker. Are you able to pump as much power as you want at 15A on a 15A rated wire? There’s got to be some limit, right?
