I got into an argument with a contractor but now I’m doubting myself. I have a stove range under 12kw. I run # 8 and a 40 amp breaker cause I thought note 4 allows me to calculate the branch circuit using column c that states that 1 appliances could be calculated as 8kw. I thought I was going to do the job, my company hired a contractor now the contractor is saying he has to change the wire because it pulls 41 amps and adding 125% is over 51 amps and he has to put it on a 50 amp breaker with #6. My question is: if note 4 is only for feeder calculation why does it says Branch circuit.
