Can you use a 240 volt 40 amp GFCI circuit breaker for a stove?
Yes you can but the electrical code does not require it. To use one where it is not requested to do so is just adding to the over all expense of the project.
How many amps does a normal stove pull?
All circuits in a kitchen must be 20 amps wired with AWG 12/2 wire. You should have 2 dedicated 20 amp outlet circuits each protected by a GFCI. A dedicated 20 amp circuit for each of these. Dishwasher, refrigerator, garbage disposal, microwave, & lights. That is a total of 7 dedicated 20 amp circuits. This is only the 120 volt circuits and not counting any 240 volt circuits.
Older 3 wire stove to a 4 wire receptacle?
You have to purchase a new cord assembly that is designed specifically for ranges. Hardware stores usually carry these cords. Tell the salesperson what you want to do with it and they should give you the right one. On the back of the stove you will find a terminal block with three screws in it. Your newly purchased cord will have 4 wires in it. Red, Black, White, Green. Connect the red wire to the first terminal screw (left). Next the white to the center screw and finally the black to the last terminal screw (right). You are now left with one green wire to connect. There might be a jumper strap from the white wire "neutral" terminal position to the chassis frame of the stove. This must be removed. There should be a ground lug that is bolted to the chassis of the stove. If there isn't a ground lug install one in the place where the jumper strap connected to the chassis frame. There might be a ground lug in the four wire stove kit that you bought, if not buy a #6 ground lug. Put the green wire into the lug and tighten. Make sure the stove receptacle that you are plugging into is turned OFF. Plug the stove into the receptacle. Turn the breaker back on. Stove should be up and running.
What is diversity factor in electrical installation?
When you are determining the electrical load of certain appliances, such as a stove (range), it's unnecessary to add together ALL the individual heating loads (oven, rings, etc.) because, under most circumstances, they are rarely operated altogether at the same time. For example, the IEE Regulations (for the UK) specify that, when determining the total load for a 'cooking appliance', the calculated load current should be 10 A of the overall rated current, plus 50% of the rated current, plus 5 A if the appliance has a socket outlet incorporated.
Circuit diagram of an electric stove plugged into the socket?
circuit diagram is the most important in electric stove plugged into the socket
What could chloroplast be compared to in a restaurant?
it could be compared to a stove because the stove provides electrical energy for the making of the food
Is it cause for concern when you feel a 'buzz' when you touch a pot on an electrical stove?
ABSOLUTELY If you feel a 'buzz' when you touch a pot on an electrical stove, then there is leakage current where it should not be. Get this fixed immediately! You are in danger of electrocution!
Does the kettle use electrical energy or mehcaniclenergy?
The kettle uses heat energy. Depending on your type of stove, that heat will usually come from chemical energy (in a gas stove), or electrical energy (in an electrical stove).
Is a electrical stove some kind of motor?
NO
How many watts does a whirl pool gas stove have?
A Watt is a measurement of electrical power, a gas stove has none.
Is the energy source for a kettle electrical or heat?
the stove is used if it is a heat kettle otherwise it is electrical based
Does an electrical stove convert electrical energy into motion?
Strictly speaking, an electric stove converts electricity into heat. That heat can be used to create motion, like water circulating in a pot of boiling water, but the direct conversion is to thermal energy.
How does energy conversion takes place in a stove?
electrical to thermal radiant
How is electrical energy transformation into light energy for a stove element?
the cars
What kind of change takes place in electrical energy when you use an electric stove?
The electrical energy is converted to heat.
What form of energy does a saucepan boiling on the stove use?
The heat energy from the stove, which in turn comes from the burning of the chemical energy in the gas that is burning, or from the electrical energy, depending on the type of stove.
What are the types of modern household equipments?
microwave Oven,griller, electrical stove
