#10 gauge wire is preferred. Electric Range – 220 – 240 volt, 60 hertz, properly grounded circuit with 40 amp breaker or fuse protection with #8 gauge wire. With a 50 amp breaker, # 6 gauge wire is required.Click to see full answer. Also, can I use 10 3 wire for a stove?A typical electric dryer, and most combined stackable units, will require a 30A-120/240V circuit using 10/3 cable. This chart indicates that for a common household electric stove/oven at 240V, up to 30A, a 10/3 wire is proper.Also, will 10 gauge wire carry 30 amps? “Twelve-gauge wire is good for 20 amps, 10-gauge wire is good for 30 amps, 8-gauge is good for 40 amps, and 6-gauge is good for 55 amps,” and “The circuit breaker or fuse is always sized to protect the conductor [wire].” Similarly, it is asked, can I use a 50 amp breaker for a 40 amp stove? There is NO such thing as a 40 amp cord and plug. 40 and 50 amp breaker/circuit are basically interchangable. You can use either for a 50 amp receptacle.How many amps will number 10 wire carry? Size & AMP Ratings NM, TW, & UF WIRE (Copper Conductor) SE CABLE (Copper Conductor) 12 AWG – 20 AMPS 6 AWG – 65 AMPS 10 AWG – 30 AMPS 4 AWG – 85 AMPS 8 AWG – 40 AMPS 2 AWG – 115 AMPS 6 AWG – 55 AMPS 1 AWG – 130 AMPS
