Induction Cooktop Electrical Connection
Topics:
- Why does the Induction Cooktop have 10 ga wire when it requires a 40 amp circuit?
- If a 40 amp circuit uses 8 ga wire, why do the CT and CI Induction Cooktops use 10 ga wire?
- Induction cooktop electrical hookup
Answer:
The whip on an Induction cooktop can be a lighter wire because it is not as long of a run.
- There is more resistance on a longer run, requiring a heavier wire.
- The complete appliance must be properly grounded at all times when electrical power is applied.
- Do not ground appliance with the neutral (white) house supply wire. A separate ground wire must be used.
