Shame on me for assuming. I normally assumed most equipment was protected from overcurrent at 125% of its rating. Specifically, I’m inquiring about a very small cooktop I encountered today. It was 208V , approx. 2.2 KW , and nameplate stated 11.1 A. Noted it was fed with #10’s and on a 2P 30A breaker. This install seems odd to me , whereas I pictured it to be on a 15 or 20A breaker. Install compliant? Code references to back up or dispute. Thanks.
