Is it "Code" or an acceptacle wiring method to tap off an oven appliance chord to feed a separate receptacle for the overhead microwave above the oven/range unit. The appliance chord comes out of the receptacle into a handy box size fuse holder or SSR ,where one of the hot legs is sent into the line side of the fuse holder and the load side is a 14/2 or a 12/2 nm cable(romex) to the receptacle for the microwave above.
In my practice,its always been the "norm" to just run a dedicated circuit for the microwave and not to tap off other appliances even though there is fusible over-current protection involved.This seems to be a pretty common practice in the appliance installation field but is it right and acceptable?
