Electricians: Range wiring and breaker sizing code

[CobyRupert]

Wow, this has gone 9 pages. Has anybody mentioned that he could upgrade the receptacle box and range cord to 60 amps instead of changing the breaker?

 

[JimRB]

I think earlier he mentioned the stove or range was marked as a 40 amp device. It takes a lot less time for me to change a QO breaker than it would take me to replace receptacle, receptacle plate and range cord. And I would spend a lot more money than a $16 breaker.

Why would one want neutral on a 240V range?

To carry the neutral current from the electronic controls and the 120V receptacles.
Are you going to start talking again about something you don't understand and tell us a falicy that ground and neutral are the same ?

Said it again as some of you were not getting it through your heads.
