You've got it reversed. Cooktops take more juice than ovens. Also you HAVE
to use polaris connectors or something similar to connect different metals, so
no wire nuts. You need to trace the wires and make sure you have the two hots
@ 120V each connected to the red and black from the applicance. Ground to
ground and common to common. If no common on the appliance then the common
isn't used and is not connected to the bus bar, so only the ground is used.


The easiest way to do this is use a receptacle and a plug. Virtually
all of the 30a and up receptacles are CU/AL rated.
I used a regular old 10-30 (30a dryer plug) on mine. (30a circuit, no
neutral). That also provides the disconnect.
