Which wire is used to install a double oven and a stove?
Normally older ovens required a AWG #8 wire on a 40 amp breaker. On a modern double oven I would recommend you install AWG #6 on a 50 amp breaker. That way you are safe and will not have to worry about the breaker tripping. It will cost a little more but is worth it in the long run.

What size wire for 75 feet of wire for a 30 amp 220 volt oven?
A 30 amp breaker run 75 feet would require you use AWG #10 wire. But, an oven normally pulls more that 30 amps and I would not use #10 wire on a 30 amp breaker for an oven. Normally any newer oven is wired with AWG #6 gauge wire on a 50 amp circuit breaker so the breaker will not trip during heavy use of the oven. Some older ovens could use a #8 wire on a 40 amp breaker.
