You can if you have the existing materials. If you want to keep your costs down the same installation can be installed with the following materials. For wire all that is needed is 3C #8 wire. For the breaker a two pole 40 amp will work. You will need a 4 11/16" square box to install the range receptacle into.
Yes, a 3-wire prong range cord typically includes a built-in ground wire. The ground wire is important for safety to prevent electrical shocks and fires. It is recommended to always ensure that the range cord is properly installed and grounded according to manufacturer's instructions.
#16 <<>> To load an extension cord to 1725 watts depending on the length of the cord, the bare minimum should be #14. A better size cord and my recommendation would be a #12 wire size extension cord.
This is what the purpose of a switch is. It connects the "hot" wire to the load. When this is done the load becomes energized.
If the wire will fit into the breakers terminal without cutting off any strands from the #8 conductor, then it is OK to use that size. This situation usually happens when a larger size wire has to be used to overcome voltage drop when the load is quite a distance away.
The ribbed wire on an extension cord is typically the neutral wire. The black wire is usually the hot wire. It's important to check the manufacturer's instructions or consult a professional if you are unsure.
The recommended length for a 3-wire power cord range is typically around 4 to 6 feet.
The wire size is large enough to carry the load current and that the cord is properly voltage rated.

The following products are offered in the DIN Rail range: Mounted terminal blocks, mounted circuit breakers, mounted fuse breakers, fuse holders, power suppliers, wire ferrules, crimping wire ferrules, to name a few.
They protect the downstream components from spikes in the eletrical system.CommentFuses and circuit breakers do not protect against 'spikes', which are near-instantaneous voltage increases. Fuses and circuit breakers are overcurrent protection devices, which protect appliances against excessive current due to overloads or short circuits. CommentFuses and circuit breakers are used to protect the wire feeder that supplies the load. A load could be connected to a circuit that would cause an increase of amperage above what the wire is rated for. If this condition happens the fuse or circuit breaker will open the load from the supply service.
It is not a recommended practice. The secondary side of the transformer should go to a distribution panel where breakers can be used to protect the different wire sizes and load currents.
The wire that is hot on an extension cord is typically the black wire.
The wire on a lamp cord that is known as the hot wire is typically the black wire.
You don't. Do not power a water feature without a grounded cord.
If you are asking how to add a switch to a lamp (or other load device) cord, simply cut the line side of the cord and connect to the switch terminals. ----mikey
Not very easily. A clamp on amp meter has to go around only one of the circuit conductors. If the clamp on meter is used around the power cord the two wires in the cord have a cancellation effect and the meter will read zero. If you can separate the load's wires that plug into the cord and clamp around that wire you will get a load amperage reading.
