Using copper
30A= #10
50A= #6

H20 tank may require a #6 separate bare ground wire connected to the water
pipe at the heater based on local codes.

Do you really need 50A for the stove?

40A= #8

50A= #6

50A == #6 or #8 depends on precise wire type and length.

#6 will almost always be right, #8 much less so.

Other posters have given you the wire sizes.

What you may not know is that the water heater usually take 3 wires.
Where as the dryer and Stove will take 4 wires. Most people use SER cable
for these larger loads.

Better check your appliances to be sure.

Greetings,

Where I live people normally use 10 AWG Romex not SER.

Hope this helps,
William
