I have a 200-amp Square D QO panel in my cottage and wonder if 15 and 20 amp tandem breakers are usually acceptable relative to the IRC code. I'm in Michigan.
Wiring cottage kitchen and wondered if following circuit plans are correct in terms of correct amperage and whether each item needs to be on a dedicated circuit per my preliminary plans. Please also suggest GFCI protection if advisable on circuits where I have not indicated a GFCI:
DISHWASHER: Dedicated 15-amp
DISPOSAL: Dedicated 15-amp
RECEPTACLES: 20-amp GFCI protected. Two separate circuits.
OVER RANGE MICROWAVE: Dedicated 20-amp.
30" ELECTRIC SLIDE IN RANGE: 50-amp, 4-wire, dedicated line. 8-gauge wire.
LIGHTING: Over sink (1 recessed), ceiling (4 recessed), Celing Fan (1), Under cabinet accent lighting, all on (1) 15-amp dedicated circuit. Need 2 circuits?
Any light switches controlling above sink recessed light, and 3-way switch for 4 ceiling cans in close proximity to sink need GFCI?
Thanks guys.
