Good posts seaflo.
The aluminum wire holds the same 75% rule here as copper, might be different where you are.
My rule of thumb? 10- 100 watt light bulbs max out a 15 amp circuit.
You have to map the circuit you want to check out to see what is actually on it.
You can pick up a curcuit tracker at any big box hardware store or an electrical supplier for about 40 USD to make the search easier.
Plug in one part and run a probe down the breakers on the panel and it will beep to tell you when you have reached the receptacle that the other part of the tester is plugged into.
Or you can do it manually by tracking what shuts off when you flip the breaker.
Or you can make a breaker blower, those are excellent.
Just a light switch wired to a male plug. Plug it in, flip the switch and blow the breaker to find it.
