Is there a device (inexpensive) that one can plug in to overload a 15A or 20A ckt to the point the C/B trips??

Why trip it?
Will it trip? (think FPE)

Try this:

Ideal 61-534 http://www.idealindustries.com

This one is $80 @ amazon.com; I bought a similar model for about $30 at Big Blue/Orange last year....has a typical recpt. tester and a GFCI tester built in.
I have MADE a ton of money on that "investment" !
