Default What is the gauge rating of the four wires for a four pin oven pigtail

The oven is on a 50 AMP circuit, so is 8 gauge enough. the next one
up would be 6 gauge?

Are you sure it's really 50 amp? Around here (BC Canada), normal electric
range circuits have 40 A breakers and 40 A wiring, even though the socket
used is rated for 50 A.

What size is the breaker in the panel, and the wiring in the wall?
