We have a 15A circuit in the kitchen. Right now there it runs to to a single gang box where it connects to wires that go to the fume hood. I think the the box was put there to accommodate a switch for the fume hood, but this was never needed, so there is just a cover over the box. It's white, black and ground in and then white, black and ground out. (The red on the fume hood side isn't connected.) I'd like to put in a 15 Amp duplex receptacle right there.
This is over the counter and it's more than 1.5m from any sink. (Although it's close to propane stove.) We are in N.L., which follows the C.E.C. Besides the fume hood, which is 215W, the circuit currently has about 400W of lights on it.
So can I put a 15A duplex receptacle there with top and bottom outlets connected? If so, should it be GCFI? If not, can I use a simplex receptacle? (And should that be GFCI?) In short, what are the options?
