So let’s say a house has 150 AMP service, and there were two dedicated 15 AMP breakers dedicated to this device, does the current split evenly, to work like 30AMPs, or would it trip at 15 AMPs?
This is a theoretical question, I assume code would be against this anyway, and I would not do it, but would it work?
In: Engineering
Consider this: you have an accidental house fire completely unrelated to your jerry-rigged electric solution, and your home insurance refuses to cover the damages anyway, hopefully without anyone you care about being hurt.
For your, your family’s, and your neighbors’ sakes, please have an electrician inspect and upgrade the wiring and fuse. It could be less than a hundred dollars, especially if the wiring is suitable and the breaker simply needs to be swapped out. A reputable electrician can give a free quote within a couple of minutes of looking at it.
Edit: I didn’t see your disclaimer when I wrote this, but it’s exactly the kind of crazy thing someone might try.
