Curious. My Apple MagSafe 2 charger pulls 3.05 amps and I've never experienced this particular problem. The more common issue is the charger won't stay in the socket.
Beside the steady state current value, the other key parameter is the turn-on surge -- the current that is drawn at initial turn-on / plugging in. It is determined by the design and is typically not an issue with normal 15A service but can be in a reduce capacity system like this situation.
