>electrical outlet< wiring for convection oven

My power supply in wall has 2 #8 or #6 wires and a white neutral wire that is #12 or #14....should the neutral be replaced with #6or8 or will the existing be sufficient?

Welcome to the forums.

The size of the wiring needed is specified by the current draw and the oven companies specs.

Detached Garage Power

I bought a house last year (built in '76) and it has a detached garage. Currently, there is a sub-panel in the garage that supplies 120v via what appears to be buried 12-2 romex. I'd like to have both 120v and 240v at the sub-panel. I want to get a 240v MIG welder (20A) , and my wife has a 240v kiln (drawing about 15A) that she uses once in great while for pottery. They will NOT be used concurrently. The run will be 70' from panel to panel, and I plan to bury it in 1-1/2" PVC conduit. The 120v side has the normal garage stuff (overhead florescents, garage door, and power tools such as an air compressor or table saw) My question is what wire size and type should I use. #8 or #6 ? Copper or aluminum? Since it'll stay single phase, do I need 4 conductor, or can I stick with 3 conductor?Read More
