Default Re: How many amps?

Thanks a lot Mike. I will just post my Cell number here, Not to worried about people calling me, (909) 210-4713. I live in So. California, about 50 miles to the east of L.A. I will work on getting the old oven for the thermostat and some other misc. parts, but as for the elements im gonna just buy new (advice from gary to make mounting them easyist and to make sure they are 1500W). So far It has been difficult trying to find some 1500W elements for 220V. If it is for say a 240V then can i still use them or does it have to be exact? The closest that I can get is this one http://www.emeraldelectronic.com/sto...ID/46/file.htm which is 2400/1800W and 240/208V does that mean that I can use 220V and it would give me around 2000W or what. This is the biggest problem I am having right now. I am going to look around a lot more and try some calls to some aplliance repair shops to see if they might have some. But if all I want to run is 4 1500W making less that 30amps then should i just run 3 1950W elements but they are 240V here they are http://www.emeraldelectronic.com/sto...ID/46/file.htm . Could I use those on a 220V or not? Thanks for the help again, idealy i would want to use the 4 1500W but i can't seem to find them and I am just limited by the amperage.
