number 8 wire is rated for 40 amps, number 6 wire is rated for 50 amps Your stove manual should tell you, for that model stove, you could also look at the plug on the back of the stove, draw the pins on a sheet of paper, take the sheet of paper to the supply house with you when you go and someone behind the counter will tell you which breaker to get and what correct size wire to get to go with your stove.

For a 240V electric stove, you typically need to use a 6-gauge wire for a 50-amp circuit and a 8-gauge wire for a 40-amp circuit. It's important to consult local electrical codes and regulations, as requirements can vary.

∙ 10y agoIn the UK the wire should be 4 mm2 cross section for a permanent installation. That size of wire is commonly stocked in DIY shops, with live-brown, neutral-blue and earth-bare conductors.
Many UK cookers are 30 amp which needs 6 mm2 cable; that is also easy to find.

What adapters do you need to plug your 240V Ac plug into a 110V AC supply?
You would need a step-up transformer or voltage converter to plug a device with a 240V AC plug into a 110V AC supply. Make sure the converter can handle the wattage of your device and has the correct plug type for your country.
What current will a 100w electric fan motor draw when you plug it into a 240v wall socket?
To calculate the current drawn by the 100W electric fan motor when plugged into a 240V socket, you can use the formula: Current (A) = Power (W) / Voltage (V). Therefore, Current = 100W / 240V = 0.42 Amperes. So, the motor will draw approximately 0.42A of current.
Can you substitute 10A 250V plug with 6A 240v plug?
No, it is not safe to substitute a 10A 250V plug with a 6A 240V plug. The ampere rating of the plug needs to be compatible with the device's power requirements to avoid overheating or damage. It is recommended to use a plug that matches the original specifications of the device.
How do you wire a 240V stove plug if old stove was hard wired and had 4 wires Black red white and ground coming from the wall are three wires Black red and a shield wire is the shield wire the neutral?
The shield wire is not the neutral wire. You will need to connect the black and red wires to the hot terminals of the stove plug and the shield wire to the ground terminal. However, it is advisable to consult a licensed electrician to ensure proper and safe installation.

check the other fuse.
Do you need to replace a 240V outlet for the stove if it makes a cracking sound when the stove gets turned on?
Could be the outlet, could be an open wire, could be a loose connection. First thing I would do is check that the connections are tight. Then replace the outlet. That leaves the wiring... The connection is probably corroded. Check the plug, if it's black and pitted you probably should replace both the plug and outlet.
Can you plug a American laptop into England?
Check your laptops power adapter to see if it will handle both 240v(UK) and 110v(US) if it can handle 240v (which I believe most can) then all you need is a UK plug adapter.

How do you convert a 4 plate stove which uses a circuit breaker to a wall plug?
You still need a circuit breaker. From your question it appears your stove is hardwired to the panel. It is perfectly acceptable to connect it to a suitably specified outlet and plug for the voltage and amperes for the stove. Basically you would turn off the breaker, install an outlet on the floor or wall so as not to interfere with stove. You can buy cords with the proper plugs and mating receptacles in most any hardware store. For an electric stove with an oven you are usually talking about a 50A breaker and the corresponding outlet and plug. This can be dangerous and if you are not sure of what you are doing an electrician is highly recommended.
