a 220 volt, 3200 watt oven will draw under 15 amps, so yes a 2o amp breaker will work.

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.
How many 50 watt lights on a 15 amp circuit?
50 watt equals less than 1/2 amp current flow at 120 volts so you can have 30 light on a 15amp breaker or 40 on a twenty amp breaker.
Can you upgrade a 15 Amps circuit breaker for a 40 Amp for a 8.5 Watt shower?
Not unless you change the wiring for that circuit. The breaker protects the wiring and if you install a 40 amp breaker on a 15 amp wire circuit you will have a fire in your home.
What size breaker should be used for a double oven?
50 amp breaker wired with AWG # 6 wire.
What size amp circuit breaker do you use on a 55 watt fluorescent light?
A 55 watt fluorescent light only pulls 0.4 amps. Lights can be installed on a 15 amp breaker using 14/2 wire. A maximum of 1440 watts is all that is allowed on a 15 amp circuit.
Can you run a 3200 watt oven from a 13 amp socket?
no
How many amps do you need in your breaker for a 1000 Watt Microwave and a basic electric stove with 4 burners and a oven?
They should not be on the same breaker. Micro should be on a 20 amp. Oven should be on a 30 amp by its self.
What size circuit breaker is needed for a 300 watt bulb?
A 300 watt bulb requires a circuit breaker of at least 2.5 amps. This can be determined by dividing the power (300 watts) by the voltage (120 volts). However, considering normal breaker sizes, a 5 amp breaker would be sufficient for a 300 watt bulb.

What size breaker is needed for a 1100 watt microwave?
A minimum of 15-amp breaker is "needed", but a 20-amp is often required by electrical code for that situation.
Will a 4500 watt element work at all or just trip a 20amp breaker?
A 4500 watt element can work on a 20 amp breaker, but it may occasionally trip if the total load on the circuit exceeds 20 amps. It is recommended to use a 4500 watt element with a 25 amp breaker to ensure consistent performance.
What size breaker for 120 volt 2500 watt water heater?
For a 2500 watt water heater operating at 120 volts, you would need a 20 amp breaker. This ensures the breaker can handle the load without tripping.
Can you upgrade a 15 Amps circuit breaker for a 40 Amp for a 8.5 Watt shower?
Not unless you change the wiring for that circuit. The breaker protects the wiring and if you install a 40 amp breaker on a 15 amp wire circuit you will have a fire in your home.
What size breaker should be used for a double oven?
50 amp breaker wired with AWG # 6 wire.
Can you use 8 three wire for a 50 Amp breaker to an oven range?
No .
What size breaker for a 1500 watt 120 volt heater?
To calculate the breaker size for a 1500-watt 120-volt heater, use the formula: Breaker size = Power (Watts) / Volts. In this case, 1500 watts / 120 volts = 12.5 amps. Therefore, you would need a 15-amp breaker for a 1500-watt 120-volt heater to allow for a safety margin.
