I'm replacing all the appliances, the cabinets, other stuff in a small 1950's-era kitchen. The basement ceiling is rather "crowded" with cables, plumbing, etc., so I'm trying--when safe--to re-use some of the cable runs from the updated panel to the kitchen.
The existing cooktop has a 10-3 NM w/ground cable running to a 30A two-pole breaker in the panel. I'm going to remove the cooktop and put a dishwasher in that general area.
My question: can I use the existing cable run as a dedicated circuit, cap off the red wire, and run it to a single pole 20A breaker?
