Can you plug your 5 amp gas range into the same wall outlet with your 0.7 amp TV and 3.3 amp cable box?

Yes if that is all that is on that circuit. A 10-amp circuit would have adequate capacity, however, if the gas range has electric ignition, it could cause voltage spikes that are detrimental to sensitive electronics. I'm not sure on the ignitors, but I know compressors and motors should not be on the same line as electronics.

How can you tell if your wiring and breaker box can handle it if you want to replace your wall-mounted oven and countertop burner unit with a new slide-in range with the flat top heating elements?

industry standard practice. the electrical load from a combination range is the same as the combined loads from a wall oven and countertop. so your panel and electric service will handle it. BUT the range will be on a single circuit and you must ensure that the range circuit requirements are met. the circuit requirements are on the nameplate. for example, if the range requires a 30 amp circuit and your wall oven was a 30 amp circuit then you can use the wall oven circuit. but if the range requires a 40 amp circuit, then you have to pull a 40 amp circuit from the panel to the range.


Can you plug in a 125 volt 30 amp plug in a 120 volt 30 amp outlet?

If the plug fits you are good to go. The typical range of residential voltage is from 110 to 125 VAC. You are fine within this range.


Can an electric range be powered from the same circuit as an electric dyer?

No. The two appliances usually have dedicated circuits. The range will have a two pole 40 amp breaker and be fed with a 3-C #8 copper cable. The dryer will have a 30 amp two pole breaker and be fed with a 3-C # 10 copper cable. As you can see by powering a 40 amp device from a 30 amp breaker, full operation of the range will trip the 30 amp breaker.

Can you wire a 120 volt 7 amp Jacuzzi motor to a wall outlet in my bathroom?

No, it must be on a dedicated circuit of it's own. It must be on AWG 12/2 wire with 20 amp breaker. It also must be protected with a GFCI outlet.

Does the range receptacle have to be rewired if a gas stove replacement only needs 120 volts?

There is a little adapter which does this for you. It is available in Canada and CSA certified. It is available at Home Depot. Just plug it into the 240 volt outlet and you now have a 120 volt outlet, which is protected by its own internal 15 amp fuse. This device is to be used for one specific use only and that is to safely convert an electric range outlet when a gas ranges is replacing the electric range. Gas ranges need a 120 volt supply to operate and this device is used so that the range receptacle can supply the needed 120 volt supply. See related linksbelow.

Can you plug an electric range into an outlet on a 30 amp breaker?

Most Electric Ranges are plugged into a 50 A breaker for good reason. When everything is turned on it will likely draw more than 30 A. The first step is to find the rating plate on your range and see the current rating. If great than 24 A you shouldn't use 30 A breaker. Make sure connection wire is sized for the correct amperage.
