We are renovating our kitchen, and part of the renovation involves replacing our gas oven with an induction stovetop built into the counter and a wall oven built into the cabinet below. I have added two breakers to the panel and run romex from each one to the kitchen area, creating one dedicated 240V circuit for the stovetop and another dedicated 240V circuit for the wall oven. The wall oven installation instructions ask that the junction box be in a pretty specific spot in the wall behind the oven. The stovetop instructions are less specific, but the junction box for this is also supposed to be below the counter. I am a novice doing DIY electrical work in my house. My question is, if a real electrician were doing this job, would they put the connections for these two units in two separate junction boxes, or would they put them in a single junction box? To be clear, in both cases the wall oven and stovetop are on separate circuits, but I am just wondering whether to put all the connections in a single junction box.
Thanks!
