We actually just learned this in class (1st year apprentice) last week. The instructor told us how an inspector failed a kitchen he did for having the dishwasher and disposal on the same 20 amp circuit and cited 210.23(A)(2), but the inspector read the code wrong and thought it said you couldn't exceed 50% of the branch circuit rating. It's nice to know what you can and can't do as someone who's just getting his feet under him in this trade
Thanks again for the info. You’re right, it takes many reads to fully understand what 210.23 is all about. I’m glad that you explain it so well as the right understanding of it can save you work or make you work.
With manufacturer’s recommendations superseding NEC, they can recommend a dedicated circuit for their equipment forcing the owner to buy yet another $50 Arc Fault Breaker. It’s getting rather expensive these days with new requirements but is it really justified?
great video, thank you. the only thing that still confuses me is: should I follow the code as it is written, or should I anticipate that the local inspector will interpret it differently and require changes to be made? My guess it's better to err on the side of caution and run separate circuits whenever there is a question as to how it will be interpreted.
I am converting a dining room to a kitchen. It currently has a single 15 amp grounded circuit. What is the best way to reuse this circuit? I'm thinking of running a new 12-2 wire for the dishwasher and disposal, two new 12 amp circuits for the countertops, and reusing the 15 amp circuit for under-cabinet lighting.and the refridgerator. What are your thoughts?
This is a great video clear and concise explanation that a lot of us need to do a good installation. Kudos Coach
What a great video!! So many questions answered!

I really hope to see your channel become super successful. You've got some amazing content and I love the grind. Keep it coming buddy.

hmmm. isn't a dishwasher like an oven: the heating element is not running for 3hrs continuously?
Just did one yesterday!
Good timing for this one Coach

I assume the circuit must be GFCI protected. Correct?
Thany you for covering the 50% rule as a reminder.
looking for clarification: if that dishwasher and / or disposal are cord & plug (as a means of disconnect) do the rules change at all?
Great explanation. Thanks
be careful of local codes, many will not allow the circuit to be shared.
Can you run an 11 amp continuous load dishwasher and 5 amp non-contious load disposal on a 15 amp breaker? 15 x 1.25 = 18.75.
Great question, the answer is no, you cannot exceed the branch circuit rating after all math has been performed.

No idea why this was recommended to me. But I’m watching
Grinding every day.
In my experience, when the dishwasher finds out about the garbage disposal, you won't have either. Or a house.
Severely underrated comment
Quack I disagree 1000% I have done it in 1000 apartments never once had a problem also think how long does a disposal typically run for???
AHJ does not allow it here.
Interesting 🤔
2017 is 210.23 (A) (2)...😀😉😎
I thought all "MOTORS" get their own circuit?
morning Bro
Morning!!! 🌅
