Doing some kitchen reno work recently in a family members condo. I ran all of the new electric lines, which called for 2 new countertop circuits as required by code. The plans originally called for a microwave to sit on the countertop. Now plans have changed, and the microwave is now being mounted under a cabinet. I'm not sure but I think I read somewhere that if the microwave is being mounted under a cabinet, it needs its own circuit, which is a problem now since all the wall are closed up and I can't run a new line. However, I can run a new line from one of the countertop outlets up about 3 feet to the cabinet. So my question does anyone know what the requirements are?
