I usually put the fridge on a dedicated 15, or on the SABC.
The dishwasher and disposal will both go on one 15.

You might want to rethink that one. Final inspection is no time to have to run a circuit to that location.

Went to a house today where they didn't believe in wasting money on extra circuits. The have 2 refrigerators ( one kitchen, one pantry ), 2 disposals ( one kitchens and one prep area ) , two dish washers ( one kitchen , one prep area ) , a microwave ( 1200 watt ) and all the counter top receptacles all on two circuits wired in #14. The circuits are connected to a double pole 30 Amp. breaker in the panel.
The homeowner suspects that the people that did the remodel may not have got a permit or inspection.
They do however have the expensive granite counter tops, one of the refrigerators is a sub zero, and the range is viking.
It's amazing what you can afford when you don't waste money on needless electrical circuits. If the house doesn't burn down they are in great shape.
This is just one of those little problems that turn up and not what I went on the service call for.

Why? Are you saying that this installation should fail an inspection?
I've already put plenty of thought, as well as actual installation experience into this. Let's look at the logic here.
Dishes get "pre-cleaned" first. Stuff gets scraped off and into the disposal. The disposal runs for a few seconds. Dishwasher gets loaded then turned on.
Where is the problem?

That's how we do it also. BTW this is a minimum for us. In the big kitchens we may have a couple more SABCs + other circuits for the warming drawers, veggy frig, wine refer, etc......

Here's a kitchen & family room bar I did last year:

These
Kitchen has 3 SABCs, dedicated 20s for the dishwasher, disposal (none was installed, but it's there) , fridge, freezer (matching Vikings), micro and dining room. There's alsoa 40a 240v circuit for the oven.
Bar has two SABCs as well as a ded. 20 for the dorm fridge and vino chiller.

Big ones. Out here the large custom homes have 2-3 of 'em. Sub Zeros with a 5-20 cord cap and 20amp circuit requirement. After you add the circuits on a couple of new homes you start puttin' 'em in at rough to cover your a**.
This batch of Sub-Zero's you speak of must be new...newer than 06-24-2007...bkludecke said:
#7 from Refridgerator - seperate circuit?celtic said:
I did some independant research over here in post #30 from Refrigerators in residential units
After looking at EVERY model listed at the site (www.subzero.com), I arrived at the conclusion that NO Sub-Zero REQUIRES a 20A ckt.
