Hi,
Microwave make, model#, approx age??
What does your use&care manual say?
*Usually* a problem with the unit will trip the breaker right away, tripping after a while is oftne a weak breaker or undersized or too many things on the same line. jeff. Appliance Repair Aid

I think some folks have a deficient reading ability. I just wonder what's the matter with them?

You have something wrong with your microwave. Or a really really high wattage one (unlikely). Easier to just get a new one and put it on it's own circuit.
