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.

∙ 10y agoIf you only use it for short periods, you can get away with a 15A breaker. If it is ordinarily on, you would be exceeding the 80 percent rated load by a bit and you would be well advised to use wiring with a slightly higher rating.

Can you split hot water tank electric to stove?
No. Each circuit has to have its own dedicated circuit. The breaker and wire size differ between the two appliances.
When installing a circuit breaker do you size the breaker to correct wire size or the device its controlling?
When installing a circuit breaker, you size the breaker based on the wire size. The breaker should be matched to the ampacity of the wire to ensure proper protection against overloads and short circuits. The device being controlled by the breaker is not a determining factor in sizing the breaker.
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 size amp circuit breaker should be used for a home entertainment system?
You use the correct size breaker depending on the size wire in the circuit. If the circuit is wired with AWG #12 wire use a 20 amp breaker. If it is wired with AWG #14 wire then use a 15 amp breaker.
How to tell if 1964 240 V stove plug is tripping the circuit breaker or is the circuit breaker bad?
You may need to call in an electrician, or appliance repairman.See view discussion below.
How are Branch circuit protected?
Branch circuits are protected by the circuit breaker found in the electrical panel. Each circuit should have its one breaker. The breaker should be rated to protect the insulation of the wire, so you can determine the breaker size based on the circuit conductor size Example #14-2 should be protected by a 15 amp breaker
What is the standard to select circuit breaker?
Add up your amps to calculate your breaker size. Add up your loads (amps), divide by 0.8, and choose that size breaker. If that number does not correspond to a standard size breaker you go to the next higher standard size breaker.
Is the main circuit breaker is a sum of the sub circuit breaker?
Typically yes because that is what makes sense. However, the subpanel could have the same size breaker as long as the panel were rated for that amperage and the wire sizes were appropriate.
What is the smallest size circuit breaker found in the normal home?
The biggest circuit breaker in any home is the main breaker located in your main breaker panel that is installed where your electrical service cable comes into your home.
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 size amp circuit breaker should be used for a pool light?
The pool light is usually on a 15 amp circuit. The breaker feeding this circuit must have a GFCI rating.
Which circuit breaker to use for the plugs and geysers?
It is recommended to use a circuit breaker with a rating of 15-20 amps for plugs and geysers in residential homes. However, it is important to consult an electrician to determine the appropriate circuit breaker size based on the specific electrical load requirements of your plugs and geysers.
