How do you wire a cooker stove oven or range outlet?

Answer 1

I assume you are going from electric to gas. You can derate the outlet or run a new one. You should seriously consider simply adding a new outlet behind the stove so you can easily go back to electric.

Answer 2

You would have to install:

• a socket outlet with prongs of the correct size - which must include a ground prong;
• fed by wiring of the correct size;
• protected by a circuit breaker of the correct type and size;

all to match the maximum current that will be drawn by the electric cooker, stove, oven or range you plan to use at that location.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.

Before you do any work yourself,

on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,

always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Answer 4

you need 2 110 volt wires and a ground for a 220 volt circuit. a special plug is used to prevent plugging a 110 volt device into it...

residental wiring (US) has 220 volt service coming in the panel. its split into 2 110 volt. one one each side of the circuit breaker panel....

If you don't know what your doing 'don't do it' its better to pay someone qualified to do the job then replace your home or your loved ones.

I gave 'wiring advice' to someone and they took out half the power to the house (furnace) in the dead of winter!

Answer 5

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.

Typical outlets have three connection points. HOT (Black wire), Neutral (White wire) and the bare wire which is ground. The outlet typically has two brass colored screws, two silver colored screws and a green screw. Connect black to brass colored screw, white to silver and bare wire to green screw. The extra brass and silver screws are so you can turn the receptical into a split outlets by removing the tie bar. Be careful. Turn off power at breaker panel when doing this.

Answer 6

You can't. If the stove requires 220 volts to operate, you will need 220 volts at the outlet first. 220v will also require at least a 30amp breaker.

Answer 7

go back to your panel, pull white off neutral bar, put on breaker.
