| Cobra, how would interpret a permanently installed dishwasher?
I interpret a DW as an appliance.
I doubt you will find any AHJ that would allow a DW on one of the "Small Appliance" circuits, as they are dedicated and intended for use by coffee pots, toasters, frying pans, and any other counter type small appliance.
And since the DW is fixed and stationary, it falls under Art 422.
And in addition to that, as Washington mentions, per manufacturers instructions.
As to reinforce Washington point, Sec 210.52 falls under sub article 3 (III)-Required Outlets.
Before trying to interpret any section, one must note the heading it is under.
A DW is not a required outlet.
So let's end this question for Vivid, to answer his question, no a dishwasher cannot be connected to one of the required "Small Appliance" circuits, and follow the manufacturers instructions.
I suspect that is what he/she found, and is trying to get around it.
If anyone would like a code discussion on a particular topic, lets get in the habit of starting another question, and not add discussion posts to a person's question. |
