GE Cafe series C2S986

The maunfacturer's spec is 30 amps for oven. Want to replace existing range wire ( old 3 conductor for the mid '80's) on a 50 amp breaker. What size wire for this new 30 amp "oven" circuit would meet the current code?

Best Answer

You just need to change the breaker to protect the stove. You don't need to change the wire because you can oversize the wire.
