You would have to install:
all to match the maximum current that will be drawn by the cooking unit you plan to use at that location.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

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.
Yes, it will be protected by a circuit breaker or fuse. The normal rating of the circuit breaker or fuse is 25% more than the maximum current expected, or the maximum current allowed for the cable size, whichever is lower.
Because of resistance drop; if the cable is too long, you could be drawing additional amperage because of line loss (inductive load), or losing excessive power in the cable. Additionally, the gauge of the cable should be considered as well. If you are using a GFI circuit breaker, too long of a run can cause the GFI to continually pop because of inductance and line loss.
Cable worked loose. Or there might be another breaker box somewhere else in the house, previously unknown to you.
Racking a ciruit breaker has no place in Home Electricity. It is a purely industrial or utility activity. It refers to the act of disconnecting an open (off) high voltage circuit breaker from both the electrical supply and the load by racking (winding, if you like) it out of an enclosure.Further AnswerRacking provides a method of isolating a high-voltage metal-clad circuit breaker (in the UK, typically 11 kV) from its supply and load circuits, and/or to provide earthing (grounding). Before racking, the circuit breaker must be opened, and this is usually ensured using an interlock system. Racking describes lowering a circuit breaker so that its bushings physically disconnect from fixed busbars/cables typically located above the circuit breaker. Once racked down, the circuit breaker can either be withdrawn to allow it to be maintained, or it can repositioned before being racked up to connect either the busbars or the cable to earth (ground).
If you are talking about an electrical ring main it can be as long as you want it as long as it returns back to the circuit breaker with the other end of the cable, which if you didn't return the 2nd end of the cable to the circuit breaker you would have a radial circuit.
yes it is the main breaker
You can test this breaker by clamping it onto the earth cable. This will provide you with the measurements that you need.
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.
The motor relay circuit breaker may be found on the driver's side of the vehicle, on or near the fender apron. There is a cable that runs from it to the battery.
Yes, it will be protected by a circuit breaker or fuse. The normal rating of the circuit breaker or fuse is 25% more than the maximum current expected, or the maximum current allowed for the cable size, whichever is lower.

It is the begining of electrial circuit, or where the power comes from, to the end point where it will be used. "Example" circuit breaker panel box has the power, circuit breaker controls the power the cable allows the power to flow to the outlet so when electrical device is plugged in it works.
Cable worked loose. Or there might be another breaker box somewhere else in the house, previously unknown to you.
Depending on how the cable is installed, I would recommend a 125A Circuit Breaker.
Tripping is caused by excessive current, which is usually the result of a fault in cable or equipment. The circuit breaker is there for safety and it trips to prevent a possible fire starting.
It is depending on : whether the ac power is 110 or 220 v , length of wire/cable from mains to CB(circuit breaker),diameter of wire/cable consumption of circuit ( How much watts the circuit consume) i.e load .. don't forget this relation I=V/R . where I= current (amps) , V=voltage & R= resistance also I=P/V where P is power in watts . note that less voltage or thinner wire may affect the real rating of CB
