I’m trying to fix an electrical problem in my back yard. I’ve got my water pump, 2 fountains, and sprinkler system all plugged in to different plug ins, but they all run through one single 15 amp plug in breaker.
Everything works for about 15 minutes then the circuit breaker in the plug in gets tripped.
I’m thinking I need to change out the 15 amp plug in breaker with a 20 amp breaker.
All help is greatly appreciated.
TIA.
Because this is the OT

If you have 12g wire leaving the 15a breaker you could do that, it is almost certain you have 14g which means a 20a breaker will not properly protect the wiring.
If it worked before but is not working now you have another problem. If you have added something that is causing the overload then you need to address that. It is possible the breaker has gotten weak if it has tripped a lot and a replacement with another 15a breaker could solve the issue.

Does your water park offer summer passes? Asking for a friend.

Sounds like a trip on OL after everything starts to run for a bit.
If the conductor is a #12 I would be OK with just replacing it with a 20A breaker.
However, if it’s a #14, you would need to replace it with a #12 before upgrading the breaker to a 20A.

Maybe your 15amp breaker is bad.

I've used Farthing Electric and been satisfied. Fixed problem at a reasonable cost.
