Electrical – power a separate cooktop and wall oven from a single circuit

240vapplianceselectrical

I am replacing my 240V electric cooking range with a glass cooktop (with 4 heating plates) and a separate wall oven. The old cooking range was a plug-in. The two new appliances (the glass cooktop and wall oven) are meant to be hard wired (not plug-ins). Can both new appliances be hard wired into the single circuit that was being used for the old cooking range?

Best Answer

Any cooktop and separate oven I had put into the houses I helped build, required a separate circuit for each.
