Looks like our church just received the Vulcan VC4ED convection oven - 208 volts 60 amp. We have the 60 amp breaker but what gauge wire from the breaker to the oven do you recommend? I have to run about 35 feet of amored cable.

For Electric Range - 220 - 240 volt, 60 hertz, properly grounded circuit with 40 amp breaker or fuse protection with #8 gauge wire. With a 50 amp breaker, # 6 gauge wire is required.

The owner's manual below mentions the wattage. (download the document, hit CTRL-F on your keyboard, type in wattage.) You might contact the manufacturer or for that matter the electric company servicing you.

Check the manufacturer's website for the manual. If the cable is getting hot, the wire gauge is too small. 30A needs a 10G wire, 40A needs a 8G wire. Again, check the manufacturer's website for the manual. If you are not sure, call an electrician. Be safe!

Hi,

Rule of live by: Each unit must have its own breaker. Cooktop needs 30 amps and a double oven needs 40 amps. Never combine the unit as the amps flow if too high can cause the wires to melt. I hope this helps. Be safe!

Gas does not ignite. No spark. No Ignition light is not ON.
1. Shorted electrode on igniter/flame sense.
2. Igniter cable (high voltage) OPEN.
3. Heat relay malfunction.
4. Centrifugal switch in blower motor inoperative.
5. Transformer inoperative.
6. High limit thermostat open.
7. Interconnecting wiring malfunction.
8. Ignition module malfunction.

Sparks but gas does not ignite.

1. Gas solenoid valve off or inoperative.
2. Manual gas valve closed.
3. Gas supply OFF or insufficient gas pressure.
4. Inerconnecting wiring malfunction.
5. Igniton module malfunction.

ensure area around ignitor is prefectly clean

The list of problems is as long as the one Obama inherited when he took over. Good news though, the most expensive part works, the blower motor! The pilot is established which rules out a gas issue. The two most common problems are, either the temp controller or the infinate switch is bad. Your unit has one or the other but, not both. Controller has several wires leading to it & has a green or tan circuit board on it, infinate switch is a small black or white 2 inch square box with 4 or 5 wires leading to it. Each one of these are mounted thru the front control panel & both have knobs. Temp board around $180, infinate switch around $45. As far as the schematic is concerned, Vulcan was bought by Hobart & they DO NOT give out schematics or service manuals.

I need to know the Power rating Example 5Kw or the Ampere Ex. 30A . What is the raring of each oven? The Breaker should be greater than the Ampere of your oven let say 120% greater.

You must use a three-wire, single-phase A.C.
208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz
electrical system. If you connect to aluminum
wiring, properly installed connectors approved
for use with aluminum wiring must be used.

That means that you ned a double 40 amp breaker.

Good Luck

blower motor not turning on is this correct

• Connected Load (kW Rating) 240/208 Volts: 3.5/2.6
• Amps @ 240/208 (Approx.): 14.6/12.6
• Minimum Circuit Required - Amps: 30
• Bake Element Wattage 240/208 Volts: 3400/2554
• Broil Element Wattage 240/208 Volts: 2750/2065
• Armored Electrical Cable

What kind of wires did you buy?
