don’t think any of those need a dedicated circuit.
no, a microwave does not pull enough amps to require a dedicated circuit. usually if its 110v it wont need it, dedicated circuits are usually for a 22ov item like a dryer or a/c unit.
not necessarily, the stove is the only one that really pulls the power. it wouldn’t hurt to have a dedicated circuit for it because by itself it draws 15 amps of juice. the fridge should be fine as long as it’s not on a circuit with other devices that use a lot of power.
Fridge and microwave - no.
Induction stove - yes. The 1800w it pulls will max out a 15 amp circuit and come close to the limit on a 20 amp circuit. Might as well put it on its own circuit because you won’t be able to plug anything else in to it anyway without tripping a breaker.
