I was in a debate about a tap per NEC T.220.55-Note 4. I believe I'm correct. reason the conversation started: We seen a house with a 40A branch circuit serving a range and one wall mounted oven. They did a tap at a remote junction box. I clearly argue that NEC 220.55 Note 4 is clear, and does not mention or permit an individual range circuit to serve any other load. Obviously the other person argues that the tap rule can be utilized regardless of the cooking appliances involved. Saying that a range can be considered two wall mounted ovens --based on a total the nameplate calculation:happysad:. In other words, he feels that if the range only required 8KW, then it's perfectly fine.
