Re: Newbie oven questions (electrical)
jrow is correct about the type of wire. For 220, you need 3 wire, to be compliant to the electrical Code. It has a black, white, and a red wire. As well as a bare ground wire. Red and black are 220. Red to white, and Black to white are both 110v, but 220 between black and Red. If you do not need a neutral on your 220V line, you can run the 12/2, but color the white wire with red tape or something. It's just a precausionary thing, so that you, or anyone else in the future, doen't think the wire is 110 and grab the white wire thinking it's a neutral. They will get a suprise LOL
