New home construction the builder specified 30 amp circuit for electric cook top so we installed a 10 - 3 romex wire. Upon finish the builder brought in an electric range that has an FLA of 36 amps. So I installed a 35 amp breaker which is obviously pushing the limits past code. The customer has been using the home for a couple of years now and recently the range breaker tripped. Would this be considered a hazard to install a 40 amp breaker on this circuit?
