50 amp breaker wired with AWG # 6 wire.
3000 / 240 = Amps. You de-rate a breaker by 20 % for continuous load like an oven. You could get by with a 20 Amp breaker and 12 AWG wire. However, I would recommend 30 Amps and 10 AWG for an oven for the long run.
A breaker is sized by the wire size. The wire is sized by the amperage. The formula for amperage is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. As you can see with no voltage stated an answer can not be given.
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.
25 amp breaker
The size breaker you use is determined by the size wire used in the circuit. If you use AWG #12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. If you use AWG # 14/2 then use a 15 amp breaker.
For a 50 amp oven, you should use a minimum of 6-gauge wire (copper) or 4-gauge wire (aluminum) to ensure it can safely handle the load. The breaker should be a double-pole 50 amp circuit breaker to provide the necessary overcurrent protection. Always consult local electrical codes and regulations, as they may have specific requirements for your installation.
For a double oven rated at 34.2 amps, you would typically use a 40 amp double-pole breaker to accommodate the load. The wire size should generally be at least 8 AWG copper wire or 6 AWG aluminum wire, according to the National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines. Always consult a licensed electrician to ensure compliance with local codes and safety standards.
3000 / 240 = Amps. You de-rate a breaker by 20 % for continuous load like an oven. You could get by with a 20 Amp breaker and 12 AWG wire. However, I would recommend 30 Amps and 10 AWG for an oven for the long run.
Majority of the Maytag double oven (gas) should fit into a space built for a regular standard oven (gas) except for one or two larger size Maytag double oven(gas).
To determine the appropriate breaker size for a 6000-watt oven operating at 240 volts, you first calculate the amperage using the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. This gives you 6000 watts ÷ 240 volts = 25 amps. According to the National Electrical Code (NEC), it's advisable to use a breaker rated at 125% of the continuous load, so a 30-amp breaker would be appropriate for this oven.
Ovens typically run at 240 volts which will be a two pole breaker in your panel. Watts = volts x amps. 4800 / 240 = 20 amps. If by chance you are using 120 volts then double it to 40 amps. All wiring must conform to size of breaker used.
A breaker is sized by the wire size. The wire is sized by the amperage. The formula for amperage is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. As you can see with no voltage stated an answer can not be given.
For a 40 amp double oven, the recommended wire size is typically 8 AWG copper wire or 6 AWG aluminum wire. This gauge ensures that the wire can safely handle the current without overheating. It's also important to check local electrical codes and consult a qualified electrician for specific installations. Additionally, ensure that the circuit breaker is properly rated for the oven's amperage.
No, you should not replace a 15 amp breaker with a 20 amp breaker without consulting a licensed electrician. The breaker size should match the wire size to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards.
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.

About 30' wide is the oven size recommended for a 20 lb. turkey. This oven can be a free standing, free standing double, or slide-in model.
