This is from Mike's latest newsletter:

A3. Small Appliance Circuits [210.52(B)].

(1) Receptacle Outlets.
The two or more 20A, 120V small appliance branch circuits serving the kitchen, pantry, breakfast room, and dining room area of a dwelling unit [210.11(C)(1)] must serve all wall, floor, countertop receptacle outlets [210.52(C)], and the receptacle outlet for refrigeration equipment [210.52(B)(1)].

(2) Not Supply Other Outlets.
The 20A, 120V small appliance circuits required by 210.11(C)(1) must not supply outlets for luminaires or appliances [210.52(B)(2)].


Author’s Comment:
• A range hood or over-the-range microwave listed as a range hood that’s flexible cord and plug connected must be supplied by an individual branch circuit [422.16(B)(4)(5)].



Based on the above is it true to say that:

(1) Wall outlets in the dining room or breakfast room
cannot be supplied from an adjoining bedroom or other room?

(2) The pantry receptacles (never seen this) must be on the SABC but the pantry lighting cannot be on the SABC?

(3) A hardwired range hood is allowed on the SABC, but a plug and cord is not?

(4) A plug and cord connected microwave installed in a cabinet over the range, but not a range hood, can be on the SABC?
