You also need to tell us whether this is a single phase or three phase circuit. I know we don't often see three phase in residential units, but I still need to ask, rather than make an assumption.

Welcome to the forum.

I would say unless you are running this range at 550 or more volts that it is a moot point as 11 KW at 240 is 45 amps.

That 12 AWG is going to be a bit warm.

Bury the 12 AWG under the tile and you have a heated floor:lol:

are you paralleling the #12's???

Wouldn't that be illegal? 310.10(H)(1)

(H) Conductors in Parallel.
(1) General. Aluminum, copper-clad aluminum, or copper
conductors, for each phase, polarity, neutral, or grounded circuit
shall be permitted to be connected in parallel (electrically
joined at both ends) only in sizes 1/0 AWG and larger where
installed in accordance with 310.10(H)(2) through (H)(6).

It was an attempt at humor based on the information provided. the only he can supply an 11KW load with #12 is if he uses multiple sets.
