Was a there a code requirement for an individual branch circuit for a kitchen hood? I havent had to do residential/houses in a while, and I do remember times in the past we would run a seperate circuit for the kitchen hood in case it got changed over to a microwave/hood combo, and I believed it was code required. Now I cannot locate it in the NEC.

If the hood fan motor is over 6 amps 430.53 will apply. Other than that you wont find anything.
