Gentlemen, I wanted to know if anyone can please provide me with the code reference number for the following...
I am working on a branch curcuit. It is a lighting circuit. It is all #12 AWG type NM (Romex).
However I wired the bathroom exhaust fan with a #14 AWG whip (3 feet long). And I wired the bathroom fixture to the fan. It is only 1.5 amps total on that branch of the circuit.
The fan is under a 1/4 HP. And I don't want to change the #14 whip. I really don't see the point.
Can I keep it on the 20A circuit?
