What happens if the wire is too small for the breaker?
Simple: the wire can overheat before the breaker protects the circuit the way you expect. That can lead to damaged insulation, nuisance trips, equipment problems, and serious safety risks.
A bigger breaker does not fix a small wire.
Make sure the wire size matches the breaker and the job.
