If there is any additional load on the outlets greater than 2.5 amps the breaker will trip. Loads of 1500 watts should be on a dedicated breaker. If the total load exceeds 15 amps the breaker will operate. However many of the outlets might supply only lights, TVs or nothing at all, so in those conditions it's OK.
