I am thinking this is a dumb question and most people know that the circuit breaker is there to protect the wire rather than the device.
So why is it that I still see small breakers for individual devices (for example 1 or 2 amp breakers) when using 22AWG wire. Why wouldn't you use a 5 amp every time for more versatility in the future? For example if you choose to add something else into that circuit.
Thanks
