The line should be protected by a 15A circuit breaker so a 20A load would trip the breaker. Don't know what kind of load would draw 20amps. That is a lot of current

Not really. Check out the link below.
Isn't the most important thing to have the breaker (or fuse) sized appropriately for the wiring in the circuit that the breaker protects, so the wiring is not able to overheat from too much current?
I don't see where the outlet has much to do with it, with the exception of code requirements.
