Q: What causes a breaker to trip?

TK KocheranIn a normal, properly-wired home, what are the possible causes of a tripped breaker? At 110-120V is there a maximum wattage throughput on a single breaker? I'd like to understand the system to be able to know how best to lay out the electrical system in a brand new house. I'm not an electrician...

I often want to answer in the voice of someone like Snoop Dogg: "Breakers be trippin, yo"
