hi,
i just mapped out my circuits from my main service panel and sub-panel. the outlet that the microwave is plugged into is on a dedicated 20a circuit for itself. however, the outlet is a duplex 15a outlet. should i change the outlet to a 20a outlet, since the microwave is the only device on the circuit? would the 15a outlet burn before the 20a breaker would trip???
