How can you tell if your wiring and breaker box can handle it if you want to replace your wall-mounted oven and countertop burner unit with a new slide-in range with the flat top heating elements?

industry standard practice. the electrical load from a combination range is the same as the combined loads from a wall oven and countertop. so your panel and electric service will handle it. BUT the range will be on a single circuit and you must ensure that the range circuit requirements are met. the circuit requirements are on the nameplate. for example, if the range requires a 30 amp circuit and your wall oven was a 30 amp circuit then you can use the wall oven circuit. but if the range requires a 40 amp circuit, then you have to pull a 40 amp circuit from the panel to the range.


Why is the breaker tripping when you turn on the oven?

An electrical short in the wiring, or a defect in the oven itself. Have it checked out by a qualified technician.


Why does a fuse blow when your oven is in use?

If the fuse is properly sized for the installation and the fuse holder is in good condition.... there is a short circuit, probably in the oven heater element or broiler element, where the element has gone bad. EXTREME CARE must be taken in replacement of the element or other troubleshooting that must be done..DEFER TO A QUALIFIED PERSON !!

What size wire and circuit breaker is needed for an electric oven 4 wires with rated load of 34.9 amps 220v that is about 100 foot run from the electrical panel?

That would be a 40 amp 220v circuit. Circuit breaker is 40 amps and wire is 8 awg. Should use solid copper wire. Follow oven installation instructions.

Can you connect a 15A 120V circuit to one phase of a 240V stove circuit without overloading the stove circuit?

Short answer: probably not. Longer answer: It depends on the size of wire feeding the stove, the stove amperage, and what you intend to connect to the new 15A circuit. If you just want to wire a light for the garage, sure go ahead. If you want to install a receptacle for a microwave oven, no way. Make sure you put a fuse to protect the circuit you are connecting.


If I wanted to switch from a gas oven to an electric oven, what all would I have to purchase?
