My microwave is on a separate circuit with a outlet ( the type name

Today, as reheating on high for 2 and 1/2 minutes, it conked out. This
never happened before. I pressed both buttons on the outlet which did
not seem to have any effect, so i had to go to the basement and reset
the fuse. Is there something wrong with the oven or the circuit?

If that is a 15 amp breaker and your microwave uses 1150W you are not
too far away from going over. A weak breaker or something else on the
circuit (yea I know you said it was a separate circuit, but .... ) could
trip it. I also could have been a one time thing.
