- Why is it OK to use a 50 A receptacle on a 40 A circuit?
Can the 8awg wiring (for 40A breaker circuit) handle the over current safely until the 40A breaker trips? Yes The 8awg wire is rated for 40A at 60 degree C, and 50A at 75 degree C; it should handle the temporary overcurrent until the 40A breaker kicks in To summarize, for a 40A breaker circuit, 8awg wiring, it should be safe to use a 50A

You're supposed to have it on a 40A circuit with 8 AWG copper wire Using a 35 8A appliance on a 30A circuit is exceeding the limit, but the limit is a generic one meant for bundles of wires in insulated walls to be safe In open air, 10 AWG wire can handle in excess of 40A

From this, we get a 15% upward adjustment on the Column C value, or 8kW * 1 15 = 9 2kW, which is less than the 9 6kW a 40A circuit can handle, so the OP is good to go We use 9 6kW here because the table 220 55 sizing overrides the normal continuous-load provisions in the NEC, by the way

In many countries a RCD protects more then 1 circuit, so a 40A or 63A version is standard When a second (or more) parallel circuit are added alongside the first 16A circuit (if the upstream installation is rated accordingly), the RCD would protect both circuits

The minimum branch circuit required for ranges 8-3 4 KW and larger is 40A They do make a 40 50 amp outlet and plug that would work fine for your range It will not ruin your range to be on a 50 amp breaker, it will only draw what it needs
- Why does the main circuit breaker trip but not the smaller branch . . .
We have one circuit breaker (40 A) where our electrical service enters our house, then it is divided into a 32A line for level one and a 25A for level two The main circuit breaker (40A) trips every several hours, but the other two circuit breakers (the 32A and the 25A) don't trip

For the two 40A runs to the appliances from the subpanel, you could use the ratings on this ampacity chart from Cerrowire There are other makers and other charts; they should pretty much agree with each other, and be derived from some version of the National Electrical Code Here is a search with more info about the NEC, and how to understand it

manassehkatz: oops forgot to include this I edited the main topic: VICU53616BST KODC304ESS @JPhi1618: yes, US I could do 2 circuits if it's easier The current breakers are 40A for oven and 20A for stove It is all going to a 100A subpanel, down from a 200A main panel –
