No way should you increase your circuit breaker amperage w/o increasing the wire gauge and outlets...
Normally I would agree except this is a momentary surge. I am 99% sure if I had fuses instead of breakers and used a 20 amp slow-blow fuse, the problem would go away. Also wiring goes from 12 ga (20 amps) to 10 ga (30 amps). Have you ever tried to wire an outlet with 10 ga?
