Shouldn't it be a dedicated circuit?( For future notice??)

Newb question but I'm testing my microwave on my 15 amp garage outlet with an orange extension cord and it's tripping the breaker. SHOULD I be testing it on the 20 amp outlet that it uses above my stove?

Question: my microwave trips the breaker every time I run my washer or window a.c. How can I get this to stop? If I put a breaker with maybe 5more amps than the one thats in the panel now is that gonna cause an overload fire?

do not increase the breaker amperage, its tripping for a reason

you are most likely overloading the system and possibly require a dedicated circuit

If your nuker won’t nuke, nuke it. Use it for target practice! But do not repeat anything mentioned in this comment. For entertainment purposes only. 😀
