Hi,
There's a reason I am asking this question.....
I am remodeling this basement and the main panel (residential) is embedded in brink (recessed) outdoors, creating a raceway would be difficult. So, I was wondering if I could just take the existing range circuit and make a sub panel with it. It would save me time and money in an already low budget installation. I think it will pass inspection because I can derive 3-4 branch circuits from it in order to complete the basement requirements.
BTW, they are going to convert to gas stove, and if you have time to respond further, let me know your thoughts on branch circuit capacity on a 50 amp sub panel.... is it 125% ?
If the customer wasn't going with a gas range, I could still do this short cut and have range circuit installed in new sub pane, and still have capacity for a couple branches, yes?
