Re: To many kitchen circuits

WOW As there is no requirements in the NEC that restrict how many receptacles are allowed on a circuit in a dwelling, so these location's must have adopted there own set of codes? Is this allowed in Ohio? It's not here in Indiana.

you could connect this to a general lighting circuit, per 210.53 as long as the utilization equipment does not exceed 50 percent of the load

So, a safe way to apply what you're saying is that 125% of the opener's rating must be 50% of 15 amps. Honestly, how much do openers pull? I've never looked!
All cieling lights are to be rated at 150amps.
