How many watts does an electric stove use?

Answer 1

It depends on the stove. If you can find the manual, or look up the AMPs it uses. Should be around 50. Multiply 120V if you live in the US. By the number of Amps. That will give you the total amount of watts.

Answer 2

The watts depend on the size of the heating elements and how many elements are being used at the time in question. The owners manual will be able to tell you the watts for the stove top burners. The other heating elements you need to find out about are in the oven/broiler. Adding them all up will give you the total watts.

The instruction manual will tell you what size electric service you need for the range. Be aware that this will be more than the range will ever use, and will contain a safety factor as well. Electric range cords are generally 220V, 50 amps. That means it is expected to use less than 11,000 watts.

Answer 3

In North America the most common size breaker for a stove is 40 amps. At 240 volts this relates to W = Amps x Volts = 9600 watts. This is the maximum amount of watts that can be drawn from that circuit. The manufacturer of different brands have different wattage's for their equipment. This is biased on the options of the stove, with added features usually drawing more to the total wattage of the stove. To find the specific wattage value of a stove look for the manufacture's nameplate on the stove. There it will tell you how much the wattage of the stove is.

Answer 4

For someone buying a electric stove over a gas stove, it isn't very energy efficient. The costs for a electric stove is almost three times as much for a gas stove.

Answer 5

Electric stoves typically use between 2,000 to 5,000 watts per hour, depending on the number of burners being used and the heat setting.
