If this is the main service in your home then you probably could not run both appliances at the same time. A range has a 40 amp breaker and a dryer has a 30 amp breaker protecting the feeders to these appliances. Even though both appliances do not draw the maximum current that the breaker allows it would be close. With other devices in use through out the home with the range and dryer on at the same time it will probably trip the panels 60 amp breaker.

∙ 11y agoYou can as long as the feeder wire to the stove is a #6 which is rated for 60 amps. You must keep in mind that the breaker protects the wire size. If your stove is now connected with a #8 which is rated for 40 amps you can not use a 60 amp breaker on the circuit for the above reason.
It is not recommended to use a 30 amp breaker for a stove as most stoves require a 40 or 50 amp breaker to operate safely. Using a lower amp breaker can cause the breaker to trip frequently and may not provide enough power for the stove to function properly. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for the correct amperage breaker for your specific stove.
For a stove, use a 8 or 6 gauge wire with a 40 to 50 amp breaker. For a dryer, use a 10 or 8 gauge wire with a 30 amp breaker. For a hot water heater, use a 10 or 8 gauge wire with a 30 or 40 amp breaker. Be sure to consult local electrical codes and guidelines for specific requirements.
If the supply is a 20 amp supply it cannot supply a 40 amp stove, you need a bigger supply or a smaller stove.
that would really depend upon the stove (I assume that you mean an appliance with an electric cooktop and an electric oven) and the size of the wire present. Most of the time a stove will require a 50amp breaker. This will mean that you would need to have 6 gauge wiring. You can probably get by with a 40 amp breaker and 8 gauge wire if you absolutely had to. Always check the appliance specifications. they will recommend a breaker size.
If you are referring to a cloths dryer, the answer depends on the requirements of the dryer. Most dryers require AWG#10 wire with a 30 amp fuse. If the wiring is AWG#12 then use a 20 amp breaker but never use it on AWG#10 which requires a 30 amp breaker. If you are referring to a hair dryer then yes a 20 amp breaker is fine.

A 50 amp breaker is an overcurent device.
Use a 30 amp breaker.
You DO NOT NEED A TRANSFORMER!!! You Have 220 Volts Commint Into Your Breaker Box. Install A 50 Amp 2 Pole Breaker And Run A Circuit With 6 Guage Romex Wire To The Stove. You May Need To Go Under The House Or Whatever To Reach The Stove But Do It This Way. You won't have the capacity
The size breaker you use is determined by the size wire used in the circuit. If you use AWG #12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. If you use AWG # 14/2 then use a 15 amp breaker.
No, it is not safe to use a 20 amp breaker for a heater with a 21 amp rating. The breaker should be rated at least equal to or higher than the amp rating of the appliance to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. It is recommended to use a 25 amp breaker for a 21 amp heater.
Depends on the wire size you are using. If the generator breaker is a 30 amp then install a 30 amp breaker.
