Greetings all, we're redoing our kitchen and we're about to install a 220/240v oven that requires a 30amp dedicated circuit. I've got a lot of 10-2 ROMEX® left over from a circuit install I did in our barn workshop and I'd like to use it as it appears 10ga wire can power a dedicated 30amp circuit.
My question is this though: The installation manual for the stove indicates that the stove has 4 wires (black, red, white, ground/green/bare). In the section about connecting it to a 3-wire system, it shows black to black, red to red, and then white and ground to *white* from the existing wire. It does not show the ground wire from the existing wire in this diagram. Sp my question is, instead of having to buy 10-3 ROMEX®, can't I just connected black to black, red to white, and white and ground (from the oven) to ground in the existing wire? Then, at the panel, code the white wire for hot and use it as the "red" as it connects to the 30amp double pole breaker?
