How many breakers (off one electrical panel) are needed to run a standard dishwasher, garbage disposal, small microwave, and one light? Are there any restrictions, problemos? THX, Carol from Mill Valley, CA:confused:

You would need to tellus the amperage draw of these units. Usually the dishwasher has its own 20 amp circuit and the microwave may also need its own 20.
