I've had a couple of experiences where the 110V jack would trip whenever I would connect my laptop. I realized that this was caused by the sudden power spike that would happen as soon I would plug in my charger and would trip the power outlet. Over the years, I've developed a simple technique that helps ramp up the load on the power outlet gradually and avoid the power spike.
1. Disconnect your charger from your laptop.
2. Connect only the charger to the outlet. See if the power LED on the charger lights up.
3. Switch off your laptop and connect the charger to the Laptop. If the power led still stays on, it means you are good; if it goes off probably the outlet doesn't have enough power to charge your laptop.
4. Switch on your computer and see if the power from the outlet is still there. If not try it a second or third time, it usually works.
