.....no, the cooktop is gas.....

But your issue is with the hood, correct? The cooktop is a seperate issue altogether, just like the refrigerator & microwave & flat screen tv. I usually put the hood on the gen'l lighting circuit.
 
Was it a gas stove? If so, this would have been acceptacle, per Exception 2 to 210.52(B)(2). Otherwise, it could be on a lighting circuit, provided the circuit had capacity for the load. I see no reason for it to be on a dedicated circuit. ( Previous reply to question )

Doesn't this exception pertain to the receptacle for the gas equipment such as the electronic lighter? Not the lighting in the hood/fan. I do not believe this exception pertains to the hood as it is a seperate piece of equipment as the range can operate without the hood.

I think 422.16 (B) (4) (5) is looking ahead to the day that the vent fan will be replaced with a microwave.

All it says is "supplemental equipment and lighting." That does not imply that the supplemental equipment must be operating whenever the range is operating.
 
do most of you just wire the hood fan into a the kitchen lighting ckt. or even a general lighting ckt.? I don't think a dedicated ckt is needed.....

We now have to put vent hoods on a dedicated 20 amp circuit here in AZ. I assume it's because of the microwave factor.

Do they also require a 50a 120/240 circuit if there's a gas range? 1 30-a 240v circuit in case they want to install an electric water heater or clothes dryer later? The list of possible future electrical loads is far too long to try to 'future-proof' the wiring.

Well, that's exactly why all branch circuits in a home should be a minimum of #6, "just in case."

I never liked the "What if game".....What if the HO decides to plug a _____ into there? What if the the hanger hit a wire? I think we should wire it this way because what if.........After I here a couple of what if I reply with something like " What if a Helicopter wants to land on the roof, should the carp reframe the roof? Do you think they will need any power up there? I think will be safe with 100a subpanel..What do you think?
 
one new I did I had an inspector check every outlet, light, switch, 3way, GFI, appliance outlet, breaker.....everything. I couldn't beleive it! But hey he was just doing his job. I passed no problems. He knew my work I never had any issues with him or any other inspectors. That's just how he is...checks everything!
