Replacing one breaker with another

[thailen]

I have a Square D panel for my apartment with following breakers: 1 double 40,2 double 30's and 4 single 20. One of the 20's controls a convection cooking panel, a small toaster, an 11 watt microwave, living room lights, n HDTV and my Internet. When all the above are on, during the past few days, that breaker tripped. can I just replace it with 30 amp breaker?

It seems that circuit is doing too much - the lights, TV and internet router are small loads but the three cooking devices will surely add up to more than 20A. In general the breaker will be sized to the wiring and cannot be increased without risk of the wiring overheating. Sounds like an additional circuit might be needed in that area of the house?

is it possible to plug one of the cooking appliances into a socket (outlet?) on another circuit?

Yes.

 

[brianmoooore]

Yes.

Then that would be a sensible solution.

I forgot to mention that the 20-amp breaker is NOT connected to the convection cooking panel

That contradicts your original post!
Are there any 6amp breakers for lighting or are the lights on a 20A?
