Raidmax are horrible quality , I wouldn't run any setup with one. Probably the PSU. They are junk.

no.the only way that would trip a circuit breaker is thru a short to ground,and you would know it.your average circuit breaker is 10 amp and this psu likely wouldnt draw 5 amps on a good day.as was said tho,this is a crap psu.

Yes. If it draws more than the rated current for the breaker....and sometimes there is a time factor involved.

Any electrical load can blow a breaker. It doesn't matter what the load is "rated for".

A load rated at 10 watts can blow a breaker if the load is faulty.
