If you're asking here, then you don't know enough about electricity. It might even be illegal to do this yourself if you are unqualified. Get an electrician.

Is 10'2 wire heavy enough for an electric stove?
If the stove is rated for 30 amps then 10 wire would be enough. However if the stove is rated for 40 8 wire would be needed, 50 6 wire
How do you add 240v service for electric oven to replace a gas oven?
An electric oven must be on a dedicated circuit. Unless you already have a 220 Volt circuit available, you will have to run a wire from the fuse panel to the stove. Call a licensed electrician.
How can a fuse prevent electric shocking?
fuse wire overheats and melts in plug and cuts off the supply of electric current.
Why cant an electric fuse be replaced by electric wire?
Because then it wouldn't 'blow' at the prescribed amperage. -A fuse is made with very fine tolerance wire to melt at an EXACT amperage.
Can you wire an electric kiln into an electric stove outlet with a NEMA 14-50R recepticle and a 40A breaker?
Yes. Since you want your breaker to be less than the maximum rating of the receptacle this would be fine.
Can you connect a 15A 120V circuit to one phase of a 240V stove circuit without overloading the stove circuit?
Short answer: probably not. Longer answer: It depends on the size of wire feeding the stove, the stove amperage, and what you intend to connect to the new 15A circuit. If you just want to wire a light for the garage, sure go ahead. If you want to install a receptacle for a microwave oven, no way. Make sure you put a fuse to protect the circuit you are connecting.
What gauge wire is required to hook up an electric kitchen stove?
Normally a new kitchen stove will require a 50 amp breaker wired with AWG # 6/3 with ground wire.
Should use thick or thin wire in an electric fuse?
Every fuse is rated for some certain current. The rating is the maximum currentthat can flow through the fuse before the wire in it gets so hot that it melts andopens the circuit. (In the arcane jargon of the high-tech world of engineering,especially electrical, this event is described by saying that the fuse "blew".)The thinner the wire is, the less current it can conduct before the wire melts.The thicker the wire is, the more current it can carry before the wire melts.So, the wire you select for your fuse completely depends on the current forwhich you want to rate your fuse, and above which you want it to "blow".
A fuse wire is used to?
to prevent an unduly high electric current to pass
What is a thin metal wire that is designed to melt when the electric current is to large?
A fuse.
Is the heating element on a stove a chemical reaction?
No. It is a physical process cause be passing an electric current through a wire.
What is a thin metal wire that is designed to melt when the electric current is too large?
A fuse.
