Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires at least two 20-ampere small appliance branch circuits for kitchen countertop surfaces. This is to ensure that there is enough power to provide for multiple small appliances that may be used simultaneously, such as blenders, toasters, and coffee makers. The circuits must be dedicated solely to serving the kitchen countertop surfaces and must not supply any other areas or devices.
