can service entrance wire be used for a stove?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.It is not a recommended procedure. Depending on what size service entrance cable it is the wire size will be too large to fit into the breaker and range lugs. Cutting strands off of a larger size wire to fit into the lugs is not acceptable. If this is new construction then the electrical inspector will reject the installation for not using the properly sized cable to feed the range. Use the proper size cable and feel free that there is not going to be any problems further on. The wire should be 3 conductor #8 fed from a two pole 40 amp breaker.
