It is not recommended to tap into a 40 amp electric range outlet for a 15 or 20 amp wall outlet as the wiring and circuit capacity may not be compatible. It is best to consult with a licensed electrician to determine the safest and most appropriate solution for adding a new outlet.

Can you plug your 5 amp gas range into the same wall outlet with your 0.7 amp TV and 3.3 amp cable box?
Yes if that is all that is on that circuit. A 10-amp circuit would have adequate capacity, however, if the gas range has electric ignition, it could cause voltage spikes that are detrimental to sensitive electronics. I'm not sure on the ignitors, but I know compressors and motors should not be on the same line as electronics.
What type of outlet needed for a elect range 30 amp or 50 amp?

Can you plug an electric range into an outlet on a 30 amp breaker?
No, an electric range typically requires a dedicated 40 to 50 amp circuit due to its high power demands. Plugging it into a 30 amp outlet could overload the circuit and create a safety hazard. It's important to have the appropriate electrical setup in place for your range.
Does the range receptacle have to be rewired if a gas stove replacement only needs 120 volts?
There is a little adapter which does this for you. It is available in Canada and CSA certified. It is available at Home Depot. Just plug it into the 240 volt outlet and you now have a 120 volt outlet, which is protected by its own internal 15 amp fuse. This device is to be used for one specific use only and that is to safely convert an electric range outlet when a gas ranges is replacing the electric range. Gas ranges need a 120 volt supply to operate and this device is used so that the range receptacle can supply the needed 120 volt supply. See related linksbelow.
Can an electric range be powered from the same circuit as an electric dyer?
No. The two appliances usually have dedicated circuits. The range will have a two pole 40 amp breaker and be fed with a 3-C #8 copper cable. The dryer will have a 30 amp two pole breaker and be fed with a 3-C # 10 copper cable. As you can see by powering a 40 amp device from a 30 amp breaker, full operation of the range will trip the 30 amp breaker.
