No, it is not safe to run a conduit from a spliced 240V oven jack. The spliced connection may not be rated to handle the load of the conduit wires, leading to overheating and potential fire hazards. It is recommended to directly connect the oven to a dedicated electrical circuit following local electrical codes.
No, it is not safe to plug a 240V oven range designed for North America into a European outlet, which typically provides 220V. The voltage difference can damage the appliance and pose safety hazards. An appropriate voltage transformer or a new oven range compatible with the European outlet should be used instead.
For a 4800W oven, you can calculate the amperage by dividing the wattage by the voltage. Assuming a standard voltage of 240V for residential ovens, the amperage would then be 4800W / 240V = 20A. Therefore, you would need a 20A circuit breaker for the oven.
If your electrician left the wiring stubbed without a junction box, you should first install a junction box at the location where the wire ends. Connect the 8/3 wire to the junction box following proper electrical codes and regulations for 240V 50A circuits. Ensure all connections are secure and the wiring is properly insulated before connecting it to your double oven. If you're unsure about the process, it's recommended to consult a qualified electrician for assistance.
