A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.
I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:

We can expand on that a bit. A breaker does not simply open at its rated current. It should actually never open at the rated current. At 2x the current it takes some time. At 10x the rated current it still takes WAY too long. Traces, components, etc. everything are long vaporized at that point. And this makes sense too, they protect the wiring in the house, not devices with unknown power draw and current spikes.
