ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS/VOLTAGE

Range Amperage:

The total range wattage is stamped on model plate in kilowatts, (kilowatt = 1,000 watts) to determine amperage for fuse or circuit breaker:

Check incoming voltage at range main terminal block (pigtail) see illustration.

Divide voltage into total wattage.

Example: 10. K.W. (stamped on model plate) X 1,000 = 10,000 watts. Voltage (at terminal block) is 240 VAC. 10,000 ÷ 240 = 41.6 (AMPS). This indicates a fuse or circuit breaker with a rating of slightly over 41 AMPS would be needed.

The range is connected to an outlet through an approved range connector (pigtail) fastened securely to the terminal block with proper strain relief at the range and a three or four pronged plug at the opposite end.

NOTE: For cord (pigtail) replacement, only a power supply cord kit rated at 240 volts minimum, 40 amperes, with closed loop terminals and marked for use with ranges shall be used.

With range connected to electricity by means of an approved range connector (pigtail) voltmeter reading between L1 and L2 should be approximately 240 VAC. Voltmeter reading between terminal NEUTRAL and terminal LINE 1 should be approximately 120 VAC. Voltmeter reading between NEUTRAL and LINE 2 should be approximately 120 VAC. Center terminal of main terminal block is netural. Range frame is connected to neutral at this point by a ground strap and screw.

REMEMBER: MOBILE HOMES AND SOME

LOCAL CODES DO NOT PERMIT GROUNDING THROUGH NEUTRAL. HENCE, 4-WIRE SERVICE MUST BE PROVIDED FOR SUCH INSTALLATIONS. ALL OTHERS PERMIT 3-WIRE SERVICE, USE COPPER WIRE ONLY. AFTER INSTALLATION, ENSURE TIGHTNESS OF ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND REPLACE ALL COVERS.
