Kitchens – Taking power from an electric range

applianceskitchens

I need 20A 250V for an espresso Machine.
I have 50A 250V going to my electric Range.
Can hook the espresso machine on the same line as the Electric Range ?

What bother me is that the 20A 250V espresso will be "protected" by the 50A breaker .

Nope! You need a new dedicated circuit & dedicated outlet for that, essentially you must treat it as another Range or Dishwasher type of Appliance.
