My understanding is that Dining room receptacles are treated under NEC as kitchen area.
If so, do all receptacles in the dining room have to be on 20A dedicated circuits that feed only kitchen-type area receptacles?
Or is it enough to have at least one receptacle wired that way but others can feed non-kitchen area outlets?
Similarly, it is true that a circuit feeding a kitchen-area receptacle cannot also feed a light?
Finally, what defines a dining room? If it a separate room from the kitchen, what makes it a dining room vs. another family room or parlor?
Thanks
