Doing some kitchen reno work recently in a family members condo. I ran
all of the new electric lines, which called for 2 new countertop
circuits as required by code. The plans originally called for a
microwave to sit on the countertop.
Now plans have changed, and the microwave is now being mounted under a
cabinet. I'm not sure but I think I read somewhere that if the
microwave is being mounted under a cabinet, it needs its own circuit,
which is a problem now since all the wall are closed up and I can't
run a new line.
However, I can run a new line from one of the countertop outlets up
about 3 feet to the cabinet. So my question does anyone know what the
requirements are?

You pay the code experts in City Hall to know this. Seems to me they
are supposed to answer questions like this as part of their job. Most
of the local ones here are very helpful so you may have similar
competent people in your area. Give it a try.
