Hello everyone, I am in the process of adding a double wall oven to our kitchen,and I was just curious about a few things.OK the cooktop spec plate says 120/208 volts 4.7kw ,not sure but I don't think I worry about the 208 v markings.Correct me if I am wrong. I am in USA. Next it says 120/240 volts 6.3kw which if my math is good would be 26.25 amps. On its own 30 amp breaker. Supplied from the panel with 8 gauge red black white wires. The double oven plate says 120/208 volts 5.10 kw(again I don't think I need to worry about this reading). 120/240 volts 6.3 kw. That should be28.33 amps. Can I run 6 gauge red white black and ground( I think that's 6/3 with ground).Can I run that from the panel to a junction box near the 2 appliances,which they are next to each other, then branch off the 6/3 with 8/3 to each appliance. Another strange thing about the double oven the plate says 3 wire AC only, but it has red black white and green coming out of the conduit. And I will also change to 60 amp breaker if I am allowed to put both on the same circuit. Thank you for any help.
