All circuits in a kitchen must be 20 amps wired with AWG 12/2 wire. You should have 2 dedicated 20 amp outlet circuits each protected by a GFCI. A dedicated 20 amp circuit for each of these. Dishwasher, refrigerator, garbage disposal, microwave, & lights. That is a total of 7 dedicated 20 amp circuits. This is only the 120 volt circuits and not counting any 240 volt circuits.

You should check the name plate on the stove to find out the wattage of the stove. If this is not feasible then look in the manual that you got with the stove. Then use the formula, Watts = amps x volts. Amps = Watts/Volts. The voltage going to a stove is usually 240 volts.

10 AWG 3 wires + ground.

Most electrical codes require a dedicated 50 ampere 240 volt circuit for a kitchen electrical range (#6/3 cable).

A 30 ampere circuit would be suitable for a series of outlets that powered cooking appliances such as microwave oven, counter top toaster oven, electric roaster, etc..

<<>>

The above statement is not true in North America. The electrical code requires dedicated or split receptacles to handle small appliances. The breaker feeding these circuits is rated at 15 amps. Manufactures have limited their equipment to 1500 watts maximum to stay within the 80% maximum conductor loading of a #14 wire.

Standard new construction requires a two pole 40 amp breaker connected to 3C - #8 wire. Using a 30 amp breaker would cause needless tripping of the breaker should full use of the stove ever be needed.

The answer would depend upon how many watts the stove is rated for.

For example, a 10 kW stove at 220 would be 45 amps. (I = P / E)

Your electric range burner spikes to 16 amps. Then drops back to 8 amps?

The spike in amperage to 16 amps indicates a momentary increase in power consumption by the electric range burner, possibly due to a high demand for heat. The drop back to 8 amps suggests that the burner has stabilized its power consumption once the desired temperature has been reached. This variation in amperage is normal during the heating cycle of an electric burner.


How many amp will one 1000 watt bulb pull on 240?

Power(Watts) = I (Amps) x E(Voltage) PIE rule. so 1000 = I x 240. 1000/240 = 4.16667 amps.
