Typical voltage to a residential cooktop would be 208 V. It is usually a three or four wire hookup. The wires will go to a two pole circuit breaker. A black wire will connect to one pole of the circuit breaker, a red wire to the other pole on the circuit breaker. The white wire is the neutral and the green wire is the ground. Always consult an electrician if you're not sure!

∙ 6y agoA typical electric stove is connected to a dedicated 220 volt 30 ampere breaker. This gives it more than 6 kilowatts with which to generate heat.
A typical gas stove can operate on an ordinary 110 volt15 ampere outlet (shared with other appliances). This electricity is not used to generate heat, just operate controls (e.g. timers, thermostat, igniter).
In a typical coal or wood stove no electricity is used at all.

∙ 10y agoAlmost all electrical appliances come for a standard voltage. Depending where you live, this is usually about 110 volts in some areas, and about 220 volts in other areas. You can take a look at a specific appliance; there is usually a metallic "sticker" that has the electrical specifications.

What is the performance like of an electric stove rated for 240V that is connected to a 208V supply?
Not good. The heating elements expect 240 volts. Possible, alternate burners elements can be purchased. (Read contact manufacturer.) Otherwise a buck/boost transformer can increase the voltage to 240 volts and the stove will run fine. Essentialy, 208 volts has 86 % of the energy of 240 volts.
What kind of electric current does an electric stove use?
An electric stove uses Alternating Current to operate.
How many watts does an electric stove use?
It depends on the stove. If you can find the manual, or look up the AMPs it uses. Should be around 50. Multiply 120V if you live in the US. By the number of Amps. That will give you the total amount of watts.
How many volts does a typical electric range oven element use?
220
In your home your stove and your electric dryer usually run on volts?
Household appliances usually have a voltage of either 110 or 220 volts; there should be a sticker somewhere that tells you the voltage for specific appliances. Make sure you don't plug it into the wrong voltage. Especially plugging an equipment designed for 110V into an outlet that gives 220V will burn your equipment.

In your home your stove and your electric clothes dryer usually run on home many volts?
240 Volts. <><><> In USA, Canada and other countries using a similar 60 Hz houshold electricity supply system, they are dual-voltage. Some of their components, such as the timers, use 120 V while the heating element uses 240V.
