Hooking up a new double oven today at one of our sales guys house, the exsisting wiring was #10, the new oven is a 9kw, manufacture calls for 40 amp ocp. With this being a 37.5 amp load, a 40 amp breaker and circuit will not meet NEC minimum breaker size. Do I violate the NEC with a 40 amp breaker? or do I violate the manufactures instructions with a 50 amp breaker?
