Hey guys,
We’re designing a kitchen appliance showroom. It’s not a real commercial kitchen. The showroom is only for display purposes. There will be 3 induction cooktops in the showroom (for example), and each one will require a 208 volt, 40 amp circuit breaker.
The heating elements of the cooktops will never be turned on. The owner of the showroom just wants to show customers the bells and whistles of each cooktop, so all that will be shown are the electronic displays.
Does it make sense to give each cooktop its own 40 amp dedicated circuit? I’m thinking it’s overkill. I would just run one 208 volt circuit to all the cooktops, connected to one 20 amp circuit breaker.
Would this make sense? Am I in violation of anything?
