There's something wrong here. 3250 watts on 240 volts is only 13.5 amps, not 40. And that would be 12 gauge wire on a 20 amp circuit. But that seems low for an oven. If it truly is a 40 amp appliance then the gauge would be #8 wire. The wiring info that comes with the appliance should tell you everything you need to know.

How do you measur ampere?

You use an "amp gauge" to measure amps in an actual circuit. It is hooked in series with the load. It can be placed anywhere in the circuit as long as it is hooked in series. Mathematically, you have to know the resistance, or wattage and voltage of a circuit. Volts=amps*resistance or amps=volts/resistance, or resistance=volts/amps. Ohms law!


How many volts is 2 gauge 200 amp 3 ohms?

Ohm's Law states Volts = Amps x Resistance. You would need to apply 600 volts across 3 ohm load to have 200 Amps flow in circuit. Not sure what you are really asking and why you mentioned 2 gauge.

What gauge cable to run 240 volts?

The voltage has nothing to do with the gauge of wire needed to supply a given circuit. The size wire is determined by the amperage of the overcurrent protection device (circuit breaker, etc.) being used to supply power to the circuit.


Reducing the current you a circuit causes what?

Reducing the current to a circuit causes a higher resistance -- assuming constant Volts. Also, reducing the current to a circuit causes lower Volts -- assuming constant resistance.AnswerAltering the current has absolutely no effect on a circuit's resistance. Reducing the current will reduce line losses (I2R) and reduce the voltage drop along a conductor.
