When I overload my plugs only one wire burns.. can't remember which one.
Look, plugging in should not be considered 'set it and forget it.' You need to physically feel the connections when running high wattages. Warm is ok, hot is not. Warm serves as a warning that you're reaching your limit. Every rig is different, so you need to figure out what exactly that is for your situation.
For mine, it's the A/c and the water heater that will fry my plug, so when running lots of air I turn wh to gas.
