Wire size?
The oven elements I'm using are going to only pull about 22 Amps(5170 watts). I plan on installing a new 30Amp circuit about 25' from the service panel using 10Ga wire.
Where I am confused is what size wiring do I need for the service cord(from oven to receptacle) and also the hi-temp wire size going to the elements. In looking at various wire size calculators, and based on the amp draw and distance, this oven should only require 14Ga wiring?
