Which wire is used to install a double oven and a stove?
Normally older ovens required a AWG #8 wire on a 40 amp breaker. On a modern double oven I would recommend you install AWG #6 on a 50 amp breaker. That way you are safe and will not have to worry about the breaker tripping. It will cost a little more but is worth it in the long run.
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.
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.
What happens when a short circuit occurs in the oven?
Usually the breaker will trip.
How do you calculate amp of circuit breaker to use on a 4800w oven?
Ovens typically run at 240 volts which will be a two pole breaker in your panel. Watts = volts x amps. 4800 / 240 = 20 amps. If by chance you are using 120 volts then double it to 40 amps. All wiring must conform to size of breaker used.
What size breaker should be used for a double oven?
50 amp breaker wired with AWG # 6 wire.

How many amps do you need in your breaker for a 1000 Watt Microwave and a basic electric stove with 4 burners and a oven?
They should not be on the same breaker. Micro should be on a 20 amp. Oven should be on a 30 amp by its self.
What is a double gas oven?
A double gas oven is one that although it is considered one appliance, it has two ovens that can be used and can be set to their own individual temperatures. It can be worth it if you tend to do a lot of cooking in which you would need additional cooking space. However, if you do not do cooking like that, there really is no need for it.
What size breaker do you need for 5.7kw neff oven?
A breaker is sized by the wire size. The wire is sized by the amperage. The formula for amperage is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. As you can see with no voltage stated an answer can not be given.
What makes a electical stove oven not heat?
If the other parts of the oven work (the light), the problem could be a burned-out oven burner, or possibly its fuse inside behind the oven. If the other parts of the oven don't work, the plug could be unplugged or the breaker or fuse in the fuse box (breaker panel) could be blown.
What size wire for 75 feet of wire for a 30 amp 220 volt oven?
A 30 amp breaker run 75 feet would require you use AWG #10 wire. But, an oven normally pulls more that 30 amps and I would not use #10 wire on a 30 amp breaker for an oven. Normally any newer oven is wired with AWG #6 gauge wire on a 50 amp circuit breaker so the breaker will not trip during heavy use of the oven. Some older ovens could use a #8 wire on a 40 amp breaker.
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.
What is the recommended wire and breaker for an electric oven of less than 4000w?
To answer this question the voltage that the oven operates on is needed.
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.
Can you run a 3200 watt oven on a 20 amp breaker?
a 220 volt, 3200 watt oven will draw under 15 amps, so yes a 2o amp breaker will work.
What happens when a short circuit occurs in the oven?
Usually the breaker will trip.
