Where can I find a combo, micro-hood art. that states individual branch circuitry. (with the exception of a receptacle for a gas range):-?

I don't think there is one???? It would otherwise fall under circuit sizing, and manufaturers instructions... Both could easily make a dedicated circuit required. (Depending on how it is installed as well)

Sorry, but I don't quite follow your shorthand abbreviations:

. . . combo, micro-hood art. . . .

Are you asking whether a microwave oven that sits over a range, and that has a fan that serves as a vent for the range, must be powered by a receptacle from a circuit that has no other outlets? If so, then I don't think that is a requirement. Depending on the rating of the microwave, it might be acceptable to share that circuit with other receptacles.

Yes that is the question. I don't ever recall seeing a combination, hood and microwave that could, according to mfg. recomendations, serve other circuits. However I thought that I did see a code article that delt with this. Maybe I dreamed it :roll:

422.16(B)(4) indirectly deals with combo hood/microwaves, in that it requires a cord and plug connected range hood to be on an individual branch circuit.

Oops, just saw the title to the first post, so I guess you know about that one.

Do you think your answer might lie in 210.23? That is what I had alluded to earlier, and I think it is what e57 was talking about as well.

Not exactly what I was looking for but it certainly would dissalow a microwave, hood combination to be wired with a dishwasher, wouldn't it ?
