Re: viking oven
what would the extra wire be used for? are you talking running a total of 5 wires? does it plug in?Originally posted by avi:
Doing a rough in (residential) for a viking wall oven and spec sheet requires 4 wire w/ ground (240/120v/30A). In past I would run 10-3 romex. Does viking require a extra wire ?

Re: viking oven
Viking's web site has installation PDFs for their ovens. The one looked at stated 4 wire w/ground. It must be a typo and they mean 3 wire w/ground (4 wire including a ground). The electrical schematics only show L1, N and L2.

Re: viking oven
The 2002 NEC on all of your 240 volt appliances (ovens, dryers, ect.) require 2 ungrounded conductors, 1 grounded conductor and an equipment ground. Before the change you would pick the neutral up at the appliance through the ground. If you have to provide a new circuit for an old appliance you would still use a four conductor and separate the neutral and equipment ground at the appliance and change the three conductor cord to a four conductor cord and change the outlet.

Re: viking oven
Try this it is the spec sheet from Viking them self. To really help you I would need more then it a Viking oven double or single. But it is 3-wire unit they just count the ground. Just confer the model numbers. http://www.vikingrange.com/specs/specs_main.html
