Does this installation break any code rule and if so which one?
Three 20 amp 120 volt individual branch circuits are required for three microwaves on a countertop.
I've run a multiwire branch circuit (120/208 volt) to a four inch square box. On a raised cover are two duplex receptacles. I plan to break the tab on the hot-side bus of both duplex receptacles and land the three hot conductors each to a receptacle leaving one receptacle without a hot wire. The neutral wire will terminate on the ungrounded side bus without breaking these tabs.
Therefore, there will be three individual receptacles for use.
Thanks
