Normally older ovens required a AWG #8 wire on a 40 amp breaker. On a modern double oven I would recommend you install AWG #6 on a 50 amp breaker. That way you are safe and will not have to worry about the breaker tripping. It will cost a little more but is worth it in the long run.
The amp size of a wire is determined by its gauge, not the number of wires. An 8-gauge wire is typically rated for around 40-60 amps, depending on the type and insulation of the wire.
For a 20 amp circuit, a 12-gauge copper ground wire is typically recommended. This wire size can safely handle the current and provide proper grounding for the circuit.
The wire size for an electric range depends on the electrical load required by the range. Generally, a 40-amp double pole breaker with 8-gauge wire is sufficient for most residential electric ranges. However, it is essential to consult with a qualified electrician to determine the correct wire size based on the specific requirements of your electric range and local electrical codes.
You will need to use #8 wire.
50 amp breaker wired with AWG # 6 wire.
A 30 amp breaker run 75 feet would require you use AWG #10 wire. But, an oven normally pulls more that 30 amps and I would not use #10 wire on a 30 amp breaker for an oven. Normally any newer oven is wired with AWG #6 gauge wire on a 50 amp circuit breaker so the breaker will not trip during heavy use of the oven. Some older ovens could use a #8 wire on a 40 amp breaker.

10/3 wire with 30 amp double pole breaker from panel box to water heater.
Yes, in a residential 200 amp panel, the neutral wire is typically the same size as the hot wires. This is to ensure that the neutral wire can safely carry the same current as the hot wires and maintain proper balance in the electrical system. Always consult the National Electrical Code or a qualified electrician for specific requirements.
15 amps.
on a 4000 watt amp the best gauge wire woul be between 2 and 0
A typical home entertainment system may require a 15-amp circuit breaker. It's important to ensure the total power consumption of all components does not exceed the amp rating to prevent overloading the circuit. It's recommended to consult an electrician for proper sizing and installation.
