Markies, Thats INDEED a "Weird" system of any branch circuit and is certainly NOT how I would have designed it let alone potential NEC violations !!!!!!!!!!
I will try n address your questions:
Q What are the reasons for this? A Cuz its one screwed up wiring plannnnnn
Q Shoudl I have something rewired? A YESSSSSSSS by a qualified licensed electrician
Q What are the consequences of going to a 15 amp breaker and removing the 10 amp? A If the branch circuit wiring is all at least 14 Gauge yes you can install a 15 amp breaker and if its 12 gauge then a 20 amp breaker (More typical household branch circuit wiring)
Q Breaker will trip after 2-3 minutes of run time. What are the reasons for this? A CUZ ITS DOING ITS JOB AND PREVENTING AN OVERLOAD N OVERHEATING WHICH COULD BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN...... A Thermal magnetic breaker senses a continued high current n is designed to trip out exactly how its doing.
Q If a breaker trips 50 times, do they get weak? A Its possible cuz they arent really designed to serve as switches with lots of use although they should be excecised now n then
Heres the deal n why it trips: If the breaker is a 10 amp, the maximum continuous constant current draw allowed on that branch circuit is only 8 amps and that computes to only 960 watts of a continuous load. Once you start pulling 10 amps or so for too long the thermal is gonna heat up !!!!!!
John T Long Retired electrical design engineer so a lil rusty on the NEC buttttttt not so rusty that I dont recognize what you have as a wierd system to say the least.....
