The sizing of a breaker is based on the amperage that the device draws. To obtain the amperage from kilowatts a voltage must be stated. Amps = Watts/Volts.

The following values are based on the stove using a supply voltage of 240 volts. Amps = 5400/240 = 22.5 amps. The breaker required for this stove will have a 30 amp rating. The feeder supplying the voltage to the stove will be a #10 AWG.
