How many amps does an oven use?

Answer 1

In an average home in North America the oven and range are fed from a 40 amp breaker. As the appliances are 240 volt this will allow the appliances to be in the 240 x 40 = 9600 x 80% loading = 7680 watt range.

Answer 2

Most of the new convection ovens use a 40 amp circuit which is fed by a #8 copper wire.

Answer 3

Up to 40 amps if both large elements are on.

Answer 4

It depends on the power of the oven, so you'd need to know that first.

Then the current = (power in Watts) / Voltage.

Answer 5

Look on the manufacturer's nameplate. There it will tell you what the amperage is. If only watts is shown and not amperage use the following equation, Amps = Watts/Volts.

Answer 6

A typical oven can use anywhere from 15-60 amps, depending on its size and power requirements. It's important to check the specific rating of your oven to determine the exact amperage it uses.
