If you have 100 amp wire, you can use it for a 60 amp circuit, or for any circuit of 100 amps or less.
But if you have a 60 amp circuit, 60 amp wire is thinner and cheaper than 100 amp wire.
That would be a 40 amp 220v circuit. Circuit breaker is 40 amps and wire is 8 awg. Should use solid copper wire. Follow oven installation instructions.
If a 100 ampere fuse wire is used in a circuit where the maximum current drawn is 20 ampere, the fuse wire will not blow as the current is below the rated capacity of the fuse. The fuse wire is designed to protect the circuit by blowing and breaking the circuit when the current exceeds its rated capacity, preventing damage to the circuit components.
The sizing of wire is calculated by the amount of current the circuit draws. To find the amperage when the wattage is known use the following formula, Amps = Watts/Volts. 6500/240 = 27 amps. A #10 AWG copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less, when supplying 27 amps at 240 volts for a 100 foot distance.
For a 240-volt circuit, you should use a cable with a gauge appropriate for the amperage of the circuit. Commonly used sizes include 10-gauge wire for up to 30 amps, 8-gauge wire for up to 40 amps, and 6-gauge wire for up to 55 amps. Ensure to consult local building codes and a qualified electrician for specific requirements.
For a 20 amp, 220V circuit over a 100 ft distance, you would ideally use a 10 gauge wire to minimize voltage drop and ensure safety. A 10 gauge wire can safely handle 20 amps of current and is appropriate for this application.

It depends on the application, but for Single-Phase dwelling service and feeders 3 AWG copper is good for 110 amps. That really equates to 100 amps since you can't get a 110 amp circuit breaker.
The appropriate wire gauge for a 100 amp electrical circuit is typically 3 AWG copper wire.

The recommended wire size for a 100 amp circuit using THHN wire is typically 3 AWG (American Wire Gauge).
