How much wattage is available in a 15amp breaker?
Wattage (power) is not stored in a breaker; in its tripped position, electrical power form the power line is disconnected.

Why does your garbage disposal breaker keep throwing?
There are only two conditions that cause a breaker to trip. An overload condition of the connected load is one cause. To cause an overload condition on a breaker that supplies a garbage disposal, the motor in the unit would have to be jammed. Turn the breaker off and see if you can turn the blades in the unit. This might have to be done from the under side, look for the motors cooling fan on the bottom of the motor and see if you can turn it. If the breaker trips instantaneously when the unit is turned on, then there could be a wire grounding in the motor junction box. Same scenario, turn the breaker off, open the junction box and look for wiring problem. Use your power of smell, it is a fine diagnostic tool when it comes to burnt electrical equipment.
