range /micro replacement

[muskrat]

Micro/hood screwed in=fixed appliance...therefore seperate circuit like DW, GD, etc.
Also, most over-the-range micros are higher wattage than counter-top.
HO starts tripping breakers downstairs and YOU get the call on X-mas day
IMHO

SA circuits are not for installed appliances. Soon as that micro is bolted in it no longer can be on the SA. Sit same micro on shelf and its fine. I am not saying i agree with NEC but we must comply.

I agree.

So I, as an inspector, would use 422.20.

110.3 b does not mandate who tests equipment.

What it does is tell us we have to install per manufacturers instructions that are included in the listing or labeling of the equipment.

It is a BS cover your ass rule that in principal is fine but in reality can be a nonsense.

Read 90.9 2008 NEC

I tend to not be a huge fan of 110.3b or the UL. Just for the reason you just posted. I prefer common sense over some geek in a lab.

Your post tells me you don't beleve in UL listing is that so?
