Went on a Service call today about a new range tripping breaker. I found a new 13.5 kW, 240V free standing range on a 50A 2pole FPE breaker. When ovens and burners were all on I had a max draw of 44.4A. Believe it or not but the 50A FPE was tripping. The wire appeared to be a #6 CU feeding the unit.
Does the draw on this unit appear to be correct, and why would the 50 be tripping at 44.4A?
