if your energy supplier is behind the breaker then the breaker only trips if you use all your power on other breakers. but if you use some devices on the breaker of the supplying device then that is not taken into the calculation.
I forgot to state clearly that you would be limited to the maximum of that one breaker, which is inconvenient if your usage is above it sometimes.

And emergency situations are even worse for oversights. (Although the generators I've seen where one would be temped to use a male to male 5-15 plug have a 20A breaker on those receptacles)
