Where in the code does it state that the branch circuit for a cooktop / oven for new construction has to have 4 wires (2 hots, 1 neutral, and 1 ground wire)? Thanks.
wont you allways have a neutral for the low settings on a cooktop appliance?Originally posted by roger:
If there is no need for a neutral the NEC doesn't require one for this.

All the cooktops I'm familiar with require a neutral, but this is not an NEC requirement, the seperation of the neutral (if present) and EGC in new installations is however.wont you allways have a neutral for the low settings on a cooktop appliance?
It is not the intent of the Code to require you to plan for something that may be done in the future. However, it is a great idea to do the planning and to provide for the future. This is a design issue, not a Code issue.Originally posted by rob1kva:
. . . Therfore the neutral must be inplace in the event a different appliance is installed.
