If a 120 volt current is protected by a 25 amp circuit breaker What is the largest number of watts an appliance can safely use?

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. When the breaker is activated, electricity (power) flows through the breaker to the circuit in the home. Using the formula below, you can find the wattage the breaker can handle, not how much it has. Watts = Volts x Amps = 120 volts x 15 amps = 1800 watts A toaster requires 1500 watts of power, so if you are running a coffee maker which probably requires 700 watts or more and turn on you toaster, that 15 amp breaker will trip.
Can you run a 1000 watts light bulb with a 20 amp breaker 120v?
Yes, considering you can do that on 15 amp breaker easy.Experience in construction field. The worst that will happen is that the breaker will trip off after a few minutes.In the formula W = A x V. W = 20 x 120 = 2400 watts. If you want you can operate two 1000 watt lamps from a 20 amp breaker operating on 120 volts.

How much can a 15W circuit breaker handle?
Answer for the US: Breakers are rated in amps, not watts. However, a 15A breaker can handle 15 amps, or about 1800 watts (using 120V), or 3600 watts (using 240V). However, this is only rated for noncontinuous loads (those not lasting for more than three hours). For continuous loads (loads lasting three hours or more), one must derate the circuit breaker by 80%. So for continuous loads, that same breaker should only have 1440 watts (using 120V), or 2880 watts (using 240V) on it.
