In most instances, YES especially if it is a BUILT-IN microwave Most microwaves are 1500-1800 watts; this is the entire capacity of one branch circuit If it is plugged into a receptacle that shares a circuit with other receptacles, then the other shared receptacles can not be used while using the microwave. In busy kitchens (commercial) and sometimes at home, this would prove inconvenient


How does an over the stove microwave connect hard wired or plug?

It usually plugs straight into the power point. There should be one for the Range Hood and/or extractor fan unit. If there is only a single-socket point, consider replacing it by a double-socket point even if you are not going to put anything else there. Ensure you have plenty of ventilation space around the microwave oven, especially if it is going to be enclosed, and that there is a board or stop to prevent the oven sliding when you open and close the door. On the other hand, if it draws more than 10 amps you must get it hard-wired.
