Gas Stove and Oven Electrical Power
- Typically a gas stove or oven is supplied with one of the gas fuels however the electronic ignition is the device that is used to ignite or provide the source of combustion.
- Typical electronic ignition only require a 120 volt receptacle which requires less power than a conventional all electric stove or oven unit.
- There are combination units that are both gas and electric, for example the oven may be electric and the burners for the stove top may be gas.
- These combination stoves or ranges typically require a gas fuel line and a 240 volt circuit.

Electrical TipThe Safest Way to Test Electrical Devices and Identify Electric Wiring!The Non-Contact Electrical TesterThis is a testing tool that I have had in my personal electrical tool pouch for years, and is the first test tool I grab to help identify electrical wiring. It is a Non-contact tester, [amazon.com], I use for the detection of Standard Voltage in Cables, Cords, Circuit Breakers, Lighting Fixtures, Switches, Outlets and Wires. Simply insert the end of the tester into an outlet, lamp socket, or hold the end of the tester against the wire you wish to test. Very handy and easy to use. |
