Best Answer

A circuit breaker trips when the current exceeds the rated trip current. Usually the trip current should be at least 25% more than the maximum expected load current.

Will 2000 watts work on a 20 amp breaker?

The formula to use is I = W/E, assuming that the single breaker is delivering 120 volts, the amperage to the circuit is 16.6 amps. A continuous load on a 20 amp breaker has to be reduced to 80% according to the electrical code. 20 x .8 = 16. So to answer the question, yes, a 20 amp breaker will support a 2000 watt load at 120 volts.
