Robert,
The wire mat have been 12 gauge but too long and your heavy load could have
dropped voltage at the outlet to approx 100V which turns a 1000W heater into a
600W appliance, hence the trip at 2400W at 4 heaters.

Bring an electric heater, iron, coffeepot, toaster, hair dryer, or
anything rated at 1000W or 1500W and plug them in one at a time for at
least 5 minutes after the second one...
A 15 amp circuit should do a 15
