Opinions requested on the following: Residential kitchen, 1 dedicated 20 amp circuit for the fridge, one dedicated 20 amp circuit for the kitchen counter receptacles. Compliant or not? I say its fine because I have two small appliance branch circuits. Two inspectors I have talked to and my partner think that two circuits are required for the counter receptacles but I see no language in the code that states this. Interestingly the handbook commentary does state that two are required to serve the counter top outlets. but of course this is not enforcable as code.
