I would like you all to weigh in I was recently asked if the following was compliant and or practical. I personally think it is compliant but not practical.
This is a remodel situation. Can you take the existing Range Feeder 6-3 w.ground and terminate it to a new Sub panel then feed two circuits one 40 amp to a 7.9 Kw cooktop and a 6.75 KW double oven.
I calculate as : 14.65 KW
subtract 12 KW from 14.65 = 2.650
2650 X 5% = 2782.5
8kw the min demand plus the amount over 12KW

8000 + 2782.5 = 10782.5
10782.5/ 240

44.93 amps

it looks ok but i feel it is impractical as this home owner entertains a lot. It will be difficult to run a new circuit as this is a condo and another unit below and concrete floor.
What do any of you think.


If you bump the breaker up to a 60amp I feel its ok, however that cook top is pushing it. But if your forced to do it, you can do it without worry.

Good point. I was assuming these were hard wired, but it appears to not matter. Easy to forget what can be done on industrial premises with supervision and what cannot.
