Will my electrician need to run new wire from the outlet to the circuit breaker to change from a 50 amp to a 60 amp outlet?
Maybe not. Since there is no wire with a rating of 50 amps exactly there may be 60 amp wire already installed. Range's use a #8 wire with 50 amp range receptacle for its circuit. If the wire that is installed now is # 6, that is good for 65 amps, then no wire needs to be changed. The only 60 amp receptacle that will be allowed on the 60 amp cable is a three pole four wire grounding 125/250 volt device. The number will be 14-60R. There is a three phase rated receptacle in the three pole four wire grounding type. It is a 15-60R.
