Hi, I would like to connect a water pump but the nearest means of power is a stove that uses 220v can I take that power from that

Most likely not, you have to consider how many amp draw the stove is, and also what the running and starting amp is on the motor. So most likely you will not be able to run it off the stove ( and at least run the stove at the same time)

Most likely you will have to run a new line for the motor.

No, the stove will use either 30 or 40 amps. That means that no 10 or no 8 wire is used and protected by a 30 or 40 amph breaker. The pump, unless it's a really, really big one will probably pull about 20 amps or less and must be protected by a 20 amp breaker. Even if the combined load does not trip the breaker you cannot connect a smaller wire than the breaker protects.

Waynetownsend - PLEASE DO NOT CONNECT TO YOU COOK STOVE CIRCUIT, YOU will probley burn the house down!! You wioll have to run a new circuit for the pump it self, and put a 220 double breaker in the main panel elect panel ,it also needs to be at least a double 30 amp. Breaker, the wire needs to be either a # 8 or a # 10, outside wire, ( SUNLIGHT). Going from panel to well house,you will need a black, a red , and a bare copper wire. You need to talk to your local electric co and find out the elect. Code for your local is. Hope this helps If it does rate my answer below. Good day & good luck, GOD BLESS> :::: F.B.E.
