What size circuit breaker for a stove?
that would really depend upon the stove (I assume that you mean an appliance with an electric cooktop and an electric oven) and the size of the wire present. Most of the time a stove will require a 50amp breaker. This will mean that you would need to have 6 gauge wiring. You can probably get by with a 40 amp breaker and 8 gauge wire if you absolutely had to. Always check the appliance specifications. they will recommend a breaker size.
Can you use a 60 amp breaker for a electric stove?
If this is the main service in your home then you probably could not run both appliances at the same time. A range has a 40 amp breaker and a dryer has a 30 amp breaker protecting the feeders to these appliances. Even though both appliances do not draw the maximum current that the breaker allows it would be close. With other devices in use through out the home with the range and dryer on at the same time it will probably trip the panels 60 amp breaker.
Can you use a pressing comb on an electric stove?
Yes, you can use a electric stove. Just place it on top.
What kind of electric current does an electric stove use?
An electric stove uses Alternating Current to operate.
When making an electrical connection on a stove you should use?
When making an electrical connection on a stove, you should use a circuit breaker.
What type of energy does a electric stove use?
An electric stove uses the Potential Energy of electricity and transforms it into Thermal Energy.
Do you need a dedicated circuit for an electric stove?
Always. Check the spec for amps and use an online calculator to figure for wire size.
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.
What size amp circuit breaker should be used for 110 outlet?
The size breaker you use is determined by the size wire used in the circuit. If you use AWG #12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. If you use AWG # 14/2 then use a 15 amp breaker.
What voltage does an electric pancake griddle use?
The electricity used depends on the the size of the range. An electric stove if used one hour a day can use between 23 and 48 kilowatt hours per month.
Can I you use existing 8 3 wire hooked to a 30amp breaker was hooked to old electric heater to wire a heater that requires 10 2 wire its a 5000watt 240volt heater?
Yes the wire size is larger for that size breaker but will not effect the 30 amp breaker protection of that circuit.
Can you use a 30 amp breaker for a stove?
The breaker commonly used for ranges is a 40 amp. This size is used to cover the total wattage of the range. If for some reason all of the top elements and the oven were in use at the same time then the amperage drawn would be just under the trip setting of the breaker. If this same scenario were played out on the range with a 30 amp breaker supplying the power it would trip the breaker.
