need help with load calculation and wire caculation
Wanting to install a 120 V new dedicated line for a Microwave 1000 W 1500 W Manual says 15A or 20 Amp in Oregon
about 100 ft of wire.
also have a refrigerator outlet that was shared with the range hood fan will be dedicated to the fridge. new fridge says 15 A or 20 Amp.
need a AFCI /GFCI but 210.12 (A) (4) did not understand within 70 ft ? do i need it at the panel?


219.18 C max load is 1500w , 1500/120V = 12.5 amp ?
because of the 100 ft distance look like I need 10 AWG wire for 12.5 amp Microwave

I have a fridge 1000W - 1500W on 14/2 wire back to same panel is this wire to small ? I have not checked in panel to see if it starts out with a bigger gauge
is a dishwasher a motor circuit? It is on a dedicated 15 amp circuit.
