If the installation is in the home you don't need to install a double pole isolation switch on your oven. The reason this code rule is used for commercial or industrial installations is for safety. Most three phase equipment is supplied from a central location, some times the supply can be on another floor and hundreds of feet away. When working on a piece of equipment safety standards require that the power be locked off. Some equipment can be remotely started from more that one operators position. If the isolation switch is within twenty feet of the equipment the maintenance worker can see physically that the switch is in the off position and that it is locked out.

What is the gauge on a range used to do?

The answer depends on which gauge you are asking about: if it is a thermometer, it could be used to measure the oven temperature. If it is part of a clock/programmer, it tells the time of day and can be used to switch the oven on and off automatically.


Which wire is used to install a double oven and a stove?

Normally older ovens required a AWG #8 wire on a 40 amp breaker. On a modern double oven I would recommend you install AWG #6 on a 50 amp breaker. That way you are safe and will not have to worry about the breaker tripping. It will cost a little more but is worth it in the long run.


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.

Does the size of a solar oven effect the heat?

Yes, the larger the surface area of the solar collectors (either focused reflectors or concentrating lenses), the more solar energy is put into the oven. Same thing for a magnifying glass in the hot sun -- the larger the magnifying glass, the hotter the focused spot of sunlight will be. However, if you are talking about the size of the oven itself (for example an oven that can cook one dish compared an oven for 100 loaves of bread), then clearly the larger the oven, the more energy you need to heat it. So the larger the oven part itself, the lower the heat for the same size reflectors. But usually large ovens have large solar collectors for this reason.
