Don't go by what someone told you as to the amps drawn. Personally I have
never heard of a double oven that only drew 30 amps, a single oven - yes.
The one I had needed a 50 amp breaker.

Read the manufacturer's name plate where it gives the model, serial number
and power requirements. That is the number you believe.

I just got a electric double wall oven to replace a gas one. I'm told that
it
draws 30 amps by GE
I have a roll of 10/3 wire copper is this suitable. I need to run about
50ft
to the panel and have a spare 30 in the panel. The unit says 120/240v --
120/208v the pigtail on the unit is bx white red black and ground and says
600v -- Confused !
Thanks for any insight

Woody
