I'm currently remodeling my kitchen and am moving from a single range/oven to a cooktop and separate wall oven/microwave combo. I'm attaching a screen cap of the new layout. The location of the cooktop is where our existing oven is. There are both gas and electrical hookups at this location. The cooktop will be gas, so I won't be using the electrical outlet. For the wall ovens, I need a 30a outlet about 5ft to the left of the existing outlet. I'm wondering if I can just access the existing outlet and tie in in another length of matching gauge wire that I'd run through the wall to the new outlet location. I'd leave both outlets exposed in the cabinets, but the one under the cooktop wouldn't be used. From my reading, it seems that you can consider a cooktop and double wall ovens a single appliance, which can be on the same circuit. Does this plan sound Ok? Edit: The existing circuit is only 3 wire. Also, there isn't an outlet box. The wire just exits the wall and runs into an external outlet box. Edit 2: It appears the oven circuit is actually 50a. Presumably, that means the new outlet should be 50a as well.

Greetings, My A/C unit’s external power/breaker box has a bad circuit breaker. It is an older style “Stab breaker” (I think that is what you call it...see picture). Bottom line: I am wondering if the path of least resistance for me is to simply find a compatible replacement breaker (since I’m not sure how to connect the wires in a new Eaton Box). Would it make sense to just replace the breaker? (presumes one can be found). There are 3 conduits connected to the box.. 1 conduit carries the wires from the main power, another goes to the outside A/C unit itself, while the 3rd conduit carries the wires that go to the air handler in the basement. Thanks for your thoughts on this. Here are some pictures of my situation.
