15 Amp for Microwave/Fan Sufficient? - microwave fan
Our kitchen floor was further reduced and the cabinets are now the type of installation, the device tells me that the new lines for microwave / fan is too low - the 14 / 2 cable and switch 15 A, should be 12 / 2 to 20 amperes.
The guy who goes on the wire, "said the manual for the microwave 13.9 AMP shows that attracts so that 15 is sufficient.
Who am I to believe? Running new wire is an important issue!

Microwave Fan 15 Amp For Microwave/Fan Sufficient?

BOY!
You must be careful to avoid questions about the Internet, where anyone can say something, and not the responsibility for his words call.
They have two correct answers, and I'm not sure what they wanted to hear.
A) The CNE, in fact, require that all small kitchen appliances protected circuits of 20 amps, FI. (You can either 15 or 20 AMP rated container, but install for less than $ 1.00 per Difference, is the 20th)
B) The manual is part of the list of products and labeling. When installing a machine or device that contains, the NEC requires that they be installed in accordance with installation instructions from the manufacturer [110.3 (B)]. The draw 13 A seem to conflict with the requirements of the code, but suffice to refer NEC210.21 (B) are (2) You will see that the maximum permitted in Table 210.21 (b) (2) for a multi - - Ship branch line is 12 A (80% of the rated branch circuit. The same is true for a distance of 20 amps and 15 amps. 20 Amp Power Circuit allows a maximum load of 16 amps.
Table 210.21 (B) (2) applies to individual branch circuits (the "dedicated") circuits, as well. In both cases, the wiring # 12 AWG, protected by a span of 20 amps.
I refer also § 210, § § 52 (B) and .52 (C), additional requirements for the cooking pots.
In addition, be sentenced to the insurance of "contributory negligence" in the event of an electrical fire started with the installation or use of the proceeds from the listing and labeling (or instructions for installation), or a device that is not with the NEC (or what Whatever code on request will be from the jurisdiction where they live, accepted). You can choose to contribute only a portion of the damage based on the rate at which "" to pay the cause of the fire. Many states require the implementation of the CNE in areas that are not expressly adopted codes, contact your building authority or local government to see what conditionslocally.
Congratulations to the two gentlemen of advice to the rest of you - not all a favor and try to burn their own homes only responsible. (As if you do not an electrical work that is not familiar with the requirements of the NEC.)
Sorry, said the inspector "pull a new circuit, or Rewire the circuit device is compatible."
There is a difference when you go to him. I always run 12 / 2 everywhere. Saves a lot of problems and I don `t have to worry if the cable is large enough. Not enough difference included in the price. You can use the microwave in a radius of 15 amps. Not recommended, but I did it for 8 years and I have a microwave BIG. No problem so far. I'm on a dedicated circuit, either. [I, son of the house, so what does that here. If I have a problem or put a new kitchen, I had certainly ReWire fit the new kitchen.
Ugh ..... Can you say red flag?
"Caution ... Caution Danger, Will Robinson!
Hehehe ..
Ok ... I see a few "red flags" here .....
1. "The man put the wire" ... use the "Owners Manual" ... no building codes?
2. The fact that someone who you do not know the local rules also tells me that probably not a licensed electrician, or a permit for renovations. I know that other rural areas that are not required is allowed, but no excuse for not knowing the codes when you install the cabling!
Frankly, if I were wiring, I refuse to connect to.
14 / 2 wiring is thinner than 12 / 2 ... and not that many amps. It is also cheaper, why use a lot of people. Always on 12 / 2 with the soil itself. It costs more, but my store, you can carry more cargo, and not interfere with cable in special outlets.
Stop and look ..... if ever a fire occurs, the insurance company and discoveredReconstruction had failed, without permission or electrical work, the building regulations (though not necessary permits if you live), they will cancel your insurance, and refuse to pay.
Yes, you could possibly work with for years ... but it's worth the risk?
Good Luck
IGNORE THE ANSWERS two top! The NEC states that all the pots in a room must be renovated at a distance of 20 amps. The only sure way to create a 20 amp circuit run is to use 12 / 2 cable. Do not try to take advantage of the 14 / 2 son with a 20 amp circuit breaker. Everything you do is you are in trouble, 14 / 2 is only rated at 15 amps. If permission has been taken by the renovation, the inspector will hide its nail on the wall when it considers container underated.
The microwave should be on a separate circuit. Should an alternative 20th amplifiers up Try it out. The worst that can happen is that you blow into the switch, but I think the 15 should be fine.
dedacatied while your circutt in a 14 / 2 will be good this setup opens the lid and remove the cap to ensure the cable that is to say in the manual of what she and indicated
Mine IS14 / 2 and runs fine.if could loose 12 / 2 is not bad, but 14 / 2 can
