Let's see if I can ask a question without stirring up too much controversy.....
My data here is a few years old, but this is what I understand is specified by the NEC for general purpose outlets:
A minimum of two 20A branches feeding recepts. in kitchen/dining area, with nothing else allowed on these circuits except a clock or outside W/P socket.
Other recepts. & all lights on either 15A or 20A branches, based on an estimated load of 3 watts per sq. ft. for residential.
Dedicated circuits for washer, dishwasher, garbage disposal.
Is this still the NEC requirement and accepted minimum?
