Weak/Old Breaker, Its easy, safe, cheap to replace if you know how.then the breaker blows.
What kind of breaker is it? Standard breaker, GFIC, or AFCI?Any experienced electrical people out there ? I appear to have a bad outlet, possibly was shorted once or ?? Any chance that can affect the whole circuit ? It works fine on the circuit until I put a load on a different outlet, then the breaker blows.
Yes. Mark with all the money you spend on DC, you should haveIf you're still having problems at that point you should call an electrician.
Or do like RedPandaMining did in his new "mining barn", and get some "SpaceGoats power meters w/30A 240V receptacles (twist-lock)". I guess the guy sells them? They give a constant readout of various aspects of the power, including current wattage / amperage draw, etc. Pretty neat-looking.get a 30 amp breaker, and run #12 wire, to a commercial 30 amp outlet. Problem solved.

For AC voltage isn't their an extra part to that formula? I have a feeling that formula is only right for DC voltage.....All you need to do is times amps by volts to get your watts,

AC is in the house and work places too, at least in the UK, and Europe AFAIK.DC or AC, doesn't matter, it's all the same formula -- Ohm's Law (E = IR). works for both. Alternating current is for long transmissions minimizing power loss along the way. Where DC is mostly run off batteries for short cable runs.
