A:AnswerHi Casey - Thanks for considering GE! When it is used as a 12" burner, it is 2700 watts; when it is used as a 9" burner it is 2000 watts. We hope this is helpful. If you have any additional questions, do not hesitate to ask, we are also happy to help at GEAppliances.com! Sue
A:AnswerHi Jerry - Thanks for choosing GE Model JP3036DLBB! We do not provide the AWG wiring size or gauge (the physical thickness of the wire) for those trying to wire their house for any cooking appliance. There are too many variables involved, such as: length, type of wire, etc. This is a safety issue; if the wrong size wire is used, the insulation covering the wire can overheat, melt and cause a fire. The power leads supplied with this appliance are suitable for connection to heavier gauge household wiring. The insulation of these leads is rated for temperatures much higher than the temperature rating of the household wiring. The current-carrying capacity of the conductor is governed by the wire gauge and the temperature rating of the insulation around the wire. Local electrical codes must always be followed for these situations. Please contact a local licensed electrician for more detailed information. Cooktops have 3 wires - red, black, and bare ground. (The neutral from the house is not used and should be capped). GE Appliances uses all copper wires, there is however a light coating of tin covering the wire. This gives the appearance of aluminum wiring and prevents the copper from oxidizing.
