The sizing of wire is dependant on what the amperage or wattage of the range is. Most new homes are pre-wired for a standard size range. The wiring is #8 with a insulation factor of 90 degree C and rated for 40 amps. This feeder is protected by a 40 amp breaker.
If the amperage or wattage is larger than this, then a larger conductor must be installed. Use this equation if you need to change wattage into amperage. I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts. If the range is in kilowatts multiply the kilowatt number by 1000 to change it to watts to use in the equation.

What size breaker can you use on a 7500watt generator?
Depends on the wire size you are using. If the generator breaker is a 30 amp then install a 30 amp breaker.
What size wire do you need for a 100amp braker?
Service entrance wire should be AWG #3 copper.
What wire size for 400 amp service neutral size?

What size wire for electric cook top?
AWG # 6 copper or AWG # 4 aluminum
What size wire do you need for 440 three phase welder on an eight foot run?
The wire size depends on the amperage, not the voltage. The fact that the welder runs on 440 volts does not affect the wire size! You need to ask this question instead: What size wire do you need for a three phase welder on an eight foot run if the nameplate amps are 45A?
What size of electrical wire need to pass 50A?
Use AWG #6 wire.
What size wire do you need to run overhead to a 50 amp service five hundred feet away?
For that distance I would run AWG # 3 copper and install a sub-panel.
How do you wire a car stereo for a 1997 Lincoln mark 8?
When you buy a install kit you will need a wire kit it comes with instructions do one wire at a time.
What size breaker can you use on a 7500watt generator?
Depends on the wire size you are using. If the generator breaker is a 30 amp then install a 30 amp breaker.
What is the wire size for a 35 amp breaker to a ac unit?
You will need to use #8 wire.
What size wire do you need to run to an air conditioner that has a maximum breaker size of 40 amps and a minimum circuit size of 25.3 amps?
You would need to use a wire size that is rated for at least 40 amps to be safe and to meet the requirements of the air conditioner. A common wire size for this application would be 8 AWG copper wire, which is rated for 40 amps.
Where can you get a fuseable link?
a fuseable link is just a length of wire that will carry a certain load. check the awg (american wire guage) ratings and install that size wire at the power source of that circuit
What size wire do i need for a 16500 btu marine ac?
Wire size is based on the amperage of the connected load. Without that amperage an answer can not be given.
