Electrical socket assistance

put a 20 amp breaker in the line from the plug to the outlet would be an option or whatever the size is that is needed

I would just get a 50 amp spa panel and plug it in to the oven outlet and go from there

it would then be a ground fault circuit and you could do 110 if need be

A two pole 20 amp breaker is like $14 and 5 min to change.

this is very true and very easy to do

then just change the outlet or use the pigtail

but in the end OP needs to do what he feels will work the best for him

You could use the spa panel and feed the the 50 amp gfi breaker the by a two pole 20 you can get the spa panels with extra breaker spaces. Then you are gfi protect in all other circuits on that panel.

Thanks all! I think i have some great direction for this week. Going to hit up the local electrical store, show the guys there and either use sub panel or change plug and fuse.

They are familiar with code for my area and supply all the professionals. Thank you all again!

Ok... Quote from electrician came in to create a nema 6-20 box that plugs into 50a existing socket.... $250... That is with no GFCI. I'm thinking i am much better of hitting the electrical supply store and building this myself.

By the time i am done with this, i could have just made a full electric system so this defeats the thought of save some money and space over full electric build. I will still save space though.

Yeah that's way high. Don't know whet you live but we charge $80 an hour.

right you are there, I know electricians and the ones I know are not cheap

they will not work for me cheap and I have known them forever, but when the screw up their computer systems at their places of business

or crash their servers or lose their data I do not work cheap either

good luck I am sure you can do it yourself

all the best

edit: 80 dollars and hour is very fair

Yeah, I didn't realize you were talking about induction. I would just switch the plug or the receptacle to match. You don't need gfci. Just take it apart in the store to make sure it can hold the bigger wires.
