A cooktop is wired in accordance with standard electrical practices - by a qualified electrician. Attempting to do this on your own can result is the unit not working, the unit being damaged, an electrical fire in the location, or injury or death to the "would-be" electrician. These hazards cannot be stated strongly enough. The basic philosophy of the technical minds here and of WikiAnswers in general is that if you have to have something like this explained to you, it is not something you should be attempting. Wiring a cooktop isn't as challenging as something like neurosurgery, but people have died during both procedures. Please contact a qualified electrician for assistance. At least get an estimate, and ask for some detail of the costs to get a better idea of what is involved. Let's be clear: you are not being called stupid or anything else. You do have knowledge and skills, but not the knowledge and skill set (nor the experience) needed for this job. Instead, you are being asked to get professional assistance for a project that can have lethal consequences for the shortcomings of the individual undertaking it if that person is not "qualified" to do it.
Black to black. Red to red. Green to ground
Black to black. Red to white. Green to bare.
Connect black to black, red to red, and white to green.
Green and bare are both grounds and can be connected. To double check you could use an Ohm meter and make sure the green wire is connected to the cook-top chassis.
The new cooktop has a 4 wire connection. Red & Black are hot. White is neutral, and green is ground. You existing panel is wired with 3 wires. Black & Red are hot and green is ground. There is no neutral wire. Connect the black to black, red to red, and then connect the white and ground together at the plug.
Yes it can. But leave this work to a qualified electrician. The consequences of doing this improperly range from failure of the cooktop to work, to damage to the cooktop, to an electrical fire, to injury or death due to electrocution. The hazards cannot be stated strongly enough.
Yes, you may connect the ground and neutral together as long as this is a replacement in an exsisting dwelling,for new construction you must have a four wire circuit with separate neutral and grounding conductor.It was never the intention of the code to make home owners replace exsisting three wire circuits with four wire when replacing equipment. .
With filing fee's and dedicated line and installation $3,000. Depending on model
Just cap the white wire off and fold it up in the back of the box, out of the way.
no should be #6 which equals 50 amps
Does it have a big heavy wire, like your electric dryer, or a little light wire like your refrigerator. All electric cooktops that I know of are 240V. I have never seen one that is 120V.
Green and bare are both grounds and can be connected. To double check you could use an Ohm meter and make sure the green wire is connected to the cook-top chassis.
Yes you can. As long as you don't use 40 amps. The 30 amp breaker may kick off if you use all things at once. So you are well protected but not up to code. The 4th wire required for the new stove is probably a ground fault wire. So run a new cable or cook slower.
The temperature on this cooktop goes from 120 to 420 degrees.
It is a little difficult to install the GE JP202DWW two-burner Cooktop in place of an existing four-burner cooktop.
The new cooktop has a 4 wire connection. Red & Black are hot. White is neutral, and green is ground. You existing panel is wired with 3 wires. Black & Red are hot and green is ground. There is no neutral wire. Connect the black to black, red to red, and then connect the white and ground together at the plug.
The advantages of an electric downdraft cooktop is that it is very much more convenient. This type of cooktop would be easier to use than the regular kinds out there.
Eurokera makes a better cooktop.
Yes it can. But leave this work to a qualified electrician. The consequences of doing this improperly range from failure of the cooktop to work, to damage to the cooktop, to an electrical fire, to injury or death due to electrocution. The hazards cannot be stated strongly enough.
An electric cooktop uses a great deal more electrical energy than a gas cooktop. The electric portion of the gas cooktop runs the electronics (clock, timer, ignitor, oven light, etc.), and these are small electrical loads. An electric cooktop uses more electrical energy cooking a batch of, say, pasta sauce, than a gas cooktop would normally use in a month or two. There just isn't a good comparison as there is such a broad difference in the electrical usage of the two units.
