Electrical Circuit Requirements for Kitchens
- The reason I ask this question is because I purchased a new wall mounted fireplace for my living room,I turned the heater unit on and it tripped the breaker in my living room.
- A small portable heater plugged into an outlet in the kitchen also tripped.
- I would think that these two circuits would be separate from each other. I’m not an electrician.
This electrical question came from: Hubert, a Handyman from Canada
Additional Comments: looks very interesting.
