To my knowledge there is no such a thing as a 1000 volt cooking microwave oven. If you mean 1000 watt then the answer to your question is yes. W = A x V. Presuming that the 15 amp receptacle is on a 120 volt system then the amperage draw on a 1000 watt microwave oven would be A = W/V 1000/120 = 8.3 amps with 6.6 amps to spare.

Can you use a 15amp outlet on a 20amp circuit?
No. You aren't allowed to install a device rated greater than the circuit is rated.The 20 amp receptacle would allow you to plug in 20 amp loads (which is why it is different than a 15 amp receptacle), and plugging a 20 amp load into a 15 amp circuit would cause an overload and the 15 amp circuit breaker would trip.ADDITIONThis may still be open for discussion. According an electrician from RKO Electric, you can in fact install a 20 Amp GFCI receptacle on a 15 Amp breaker. Apparently, the breaker will trip well before the receptacle is able to pull 20 Amps of current into the line. Please see the following link from another website: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Electrical-Wiring-Home-1734/20-amp-GFCI-outlets.htm2003 NEC Code Book says:210-21(b)(1), p.70-42: A single receptacle on an individual branch circuit shall have an ampere rating of not less than that of the branch circuit. To me this indicates that if there's only one receptacle on the circuit, you can't have an outlet rated for less than the circuit, but it neither mentions nor prohibits oversizing the receptacle.210-21(3), p.70-42: Where connected to a branch circuit supplying two or more receptacles or outlets, receptacle ratings shall conform to the values listed in table 210-21(b)(3)... which says: 15amp circuit, not over15amp receptacle (
Is a double throw 15amp breaker the same as a 30 amp breaker amp?
You have a double pole breaker for 240Volt supply. The maximum current is 15 amp.
How many 50 watt lights on a 15 amp circuit?
50 watt equals less than 1/2 amp current flow at 120 volts so you can have 30 light on a 15amp breaker or 40 on a twenty amp breaker.
Can you use32amp circuit for a 15amp appliance?
If it is a 32-amp circuit you can use any appliance that takes less than 32 amps. That includes a 15-amp appliance. All appliances fed from that circuit must use 32 amps or less in total.
How many watts and romex gauge is safe for a 15amp breaker?
Assuming 120 VAC in a residence maximum watts = 15 x 120 = 1800 Watts. For a continuous load you can support 1440 watts which is 80& of maximum. You need 14 AWG gauge wire.
How much wattvoltage rough estimate would a house need for - 10 50W lights 1 TV 1 refrigerator 1 wall unit air conditioner 1 microwave 1 washing machine?
you will need 1-15 amp circuit 120 volts with 14 guage romex wire for lights / you will need 1- 20 amp circuit with 12/2 romex going to receptacle that microwave will plug into in Virginia this has to be a dedicated circuit meaning nothing else but microwave can be plugged into this receptacle. the same rules apply also to the washer and the refrigerator as the microwave. the t.v. also should have 1-20amp receptacle to plug in to but this doesn't have to be a dedicated circuit and other items can be plugged into this receptacle such as vcr's lamps etc. you did not say whether you were planning on having a 120 volt air conditioner or a 230 volt a/c but either way you will need a dedicated circuit with either 1-20amp receptacle using 12/3 romex wire or 1-30amp receptacle using 10/2 romex wire. be sure to match your breaker size to your wire size 14/2 wire size = 15amp breaker 12/2 wire size = 20amp breaker and 10/2 wire size = 30amp breaker. so if this is a new install you will need a total of 6 new breakers i can not give you the wattage or power consumption for anything but the lights which will pull about 500 watts if all on at the same time pulling about 4.3amps
What happens if you use a 20amp fuse when the microwave oven calls for a 15amp fuse?
The fuse is there to protect the wiring in your home not the microwave. Using a larger fuse than required for the wiring causes a fire hazard. You can end up burning your home down. Use only the fuse recommended.

Can you switch from 15amp to 20amp on a double pole breaker?
The minimum size wire a 20 amp breaker needs to be connected to is a #12 wire. The 15 is probably connected to a #14 right now which is only rated for 15 amps. Remember the breaker is sized to the wires ampacity not the load .
