Are you sure that there is both a grounded conductor (white) and a ground (Green or bare) in the existing wiring. Older wiring grandfathers in using the grounded conductor as the equipment ground, but you can't legitimately make an MWBC out of it without a proper ground.


You usually can find 15A cartridge fuses for the holders that will hold 30A fuses. The size goes up above 30A typically.

Haven't looked yet but I think the stove wiring is newer so I am hoping there is both a ground and white wire. Brian

Although it might be nice to have two 120 circuits since the panel is full, I doubt that you need two separate circuits for the hood and the range.

Thanks I haven't checked the specs of either the gas stove or the Exhaust hood. Not sure what a searing function uses. I do have another issue though. The fuses for the stove are large amperage 3" x 3/4" cartridge fuses. Probably 30 or 60 amp each. SO no way to put in 15 Amp fuses for the 2 circuits. Thinking I can use the stove circuit to power a sub panel which would then provide the 2 110vac circuits. Thoughts?

A subpanel will work. Feed the subpanel with a cable of ampacity you can get a fuse for. You can stick it right next to your existing fusebox and still reuse the existing wire (provided as we noted above it is a four wire hookup) u p to the kitchen.
