No, a 15A
breaker will not trip at 16
amps, at least not for a long time. I
can understand why a
15 amp receptacle shouldnt be
used on a
20 amp (12AWG) service but a
20 amp receptacle should be able to handle the load safely. But a 15A
receptacle CAN be
used on a 20A
circuit, IF there is more than one.
