[QUOTE="Korn4Life, post: 5651847, member: 586459"] I wouldnt do it Wire Sizing Chart The following chart shows the proper wire size or wire guage ( awg ) for the desired current or amperage. * The national electric code (NEC) specifies that the over-current protection device (breaker, fuse, or motor over-load) not exceed 15A for 14 AWG wire, 20A for 12 AGW wire, and 30A for 10 AGW wire. Maximum Ampacity for Copper and Aluminum Wire You risk burning up your homerun wire going back to the breaker which could cause a Fire.... It may not happen right away but over time your wire will become more brittle as it heats up and cools down.... Just replace with a 20a breaker and if that dont work unplug some stuff or add another branch circuit to the room [/QUOTE]
