Default Re: Wire size?

There's plenty of safty factor built in already with regards to standard wire/breaker load ratings, no need to go overboard.

For the oven power cord, 10ga wire will suffice.
26 amps sounds like 2 x 3000Watt elements. If that's the case, use 14ga high temp wire for the elements.
