Having a range on a 100 amp breaker could be dangerous. It shouldnt
be wired with #6, but it may feed a subpanel. In my house, i have
"pushmatics" and the 100 amp main panel has a split bus. On the
"always on (no main)side, there is a 30 for the clothes dryer, a 60
for cooking equipment, (my fryer, stove, oven, and rooftop exhaust
blower unit) then there is a 70, that feeds the bottom portion of the
panel. The lights and plugs come off that. There is a tap off the
bottom (protected by the 70)that goes to a *400* amp "QMQB" style
PANELBOARD, that covers all the basement stuff. The owner was an
electrician, and had a ""spare"" FPE QMQB board. Oh well... ( the
FPE is pro-tected by a 70 amp breaker, so i dont worry too much)
