To answer this question the voltage of the oven must be stated. Also double check on the wattage of the oven 3.55 watts seems low. Maybe it should be 3.55 kWs. Amps = Watts/Volts.

Can you use 14-3 wire on a 20amp breaker?

No. A 20 amp breaker needs 12 gauge wire.


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 does hard wire mean?

Hard wiring something is when you terminate the device or equipment directly with the cable/wires that are coming from the panel. Say for example: You have a 40' length of 10-3 M.C. cable (or similar) coming from your panel to feed power to the oven. In the case that the oven needs to be hard wired , there will be a junction box in the back , bottom, portion of the oven or an insulated cord with uncapped wires hanging out in which (either way) you need to splice the 10-3 cable to the wire ends of the oven inside that junction box (or the junction box that is installed in the wall). If the oven didn't need to be hard wired than you would normally install a 30-60 amp receptacle/outlet in a 4x4 box in the wall and you would terminate the 10-3 cable to it and the oven would come with a cord and plug that you would just plug into the wall. So, an easy way to think of it is: If the equipment needs to be hard wired than it will not have a plug on the end of the cord/cable. And if it doesn't need to be hard wired than you will just plug it into an outlet.

How do you wire a 3 wire European oven white black green to a US receptacle with 4 wires white black red and bare?

Connect the white wire from the European oven to the white wire in the US receptacle. Connect the black wire from the European oven to the black wire in the US receptacle. Connect the green wire from the European oven to the bare wire in the US receptacle. The green wire serves as the ground wire since you don't have a separate ground wire in the US receptacle.
