A 14 ga circuit should be on a 15 amp breaker, not a 20. Putting a 20

Even if the 20 amp breaker has 3 15 amp receptacles on the one circuit?



It doesn't make any difference how many 15 amp
receptacles are on the circuit. Breaker size has
nothing to do with the plug in appliances. The
breaker size is based on the wire it has to protect.
