If one circuit breaker is connected in series with two circuit breakers in parallel, is the current flowing through the circuit breaker in series equal to the sum of the currents flowing through the two parallel circuit breakers?

10a refers to the maximum current; in other words, the sum of the currents drawn by all the devices connected to this socket cannot exceed 10a. 2200W refers to the maximum power; in other words, the total power of all the devices connected to this socket cannot exceed 2200W. After connecting to that charger, it is still possible to connect loads with a maximum current of 9.15A and a power of 2195W.

No. For two circuit breakers connected in parallel, the total current flowing through them is the sum of the currents flowing through each individual circuit breaker. And for series-connected circuit breakers, if their rated currents are equal, then the current flowing through them is also equal ; If the rated currents are not equal, the current flowing will be based on the circuit breaker with the lower rated current. -
