Best Answer

The 300 volt insulation rating on wire is the maximum amount of voltage that can be applied to that wire. If your range falls within that range then it is safe to use. Some commercial ranges use 480 and 575 volts. For theses types of ranges the 300 volt wire will not do, it will have to be wire with a conductor whose insulation rating is 600 volts or greater.

My 250 volt wire to my Kenmore electric range shorted out with a large pop. I relaxed the 250 volt wire but range still doesn't work. What's going on?

When the wire shorted it probably burned through. You should employ a qualified electrician to help you troubleshoot the problem.


How do you wire a 3 wire 240 volt stove to a 240 volt 4 wire feed?

Change the cord/plug on the stove to a four wire cord/plug. When installing the new plug remove the grounding strip that connects the center lug in the stove wiring block to the frame of the stove. Connect the white wire from the new plug to the center lug. Connect the green wire from the plug to the stove frame.


Can you connect a 220 volt stove to a 120 volt circuit?

Yes, this is a safe connection. A range is usually wire rated at 40 amps and the manufactures do not make a 40 amp rated receptacle. The code requires the next highest rated receptacle be used which is a 50 amp rating. This is why the range receptacle is rated at 50 amps. This receptacle is known as a 3 pole 4 wire grounding receptacle, 14-50R 125/250 volt. Black wire to terminal X, red wire to terminal Y, white wire to terminal W and ground wire to terminal G.

Can you wire 12 volt agm but different amp hour batteries in series?

Yes, but know that when connected in series you will increase the voltage but the amps will stay the same as one battery. If you wire them in parallel you increase the amps but the voltage stays the same. Example: Connect two 12 volt batteries in series and you then have 24 volts with the same amperage as one battery. Connect two 12 volt batteries in parallel and you will have 12 volts but the amperage will double.

What gauge wire for 240 volt at 40 amps?

The ampacity of a # 10 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is 30 amps. All wire voltage ratings usually drop into two categories 300 volts and 600 volts. Home wiring drops into the 300 volt range and commercial, industrial, drops into the 600 volt range.
