adding electrical stove

[Rick.johnson]

Hi Guys
I have a 1987 40 ft hunter with the GSI 3 burner an oven that uses propane
an will be replacing it with a new force 10 3 burner + oven electric stove
needing the input power of 220 at 20 amps

The marina mechanic that I talked with said he did not want to do it do to his insurance reason

Has any one out there taken on a project like this an what all is needed
I am thinking a new cord a 220 volt plug in a main circuit breaker an some internal wiring
that would be big enough to handle that type of load

Thanks Guys Rick

Is there a propane burner located somewhere in this new electric stove ? If not, you will only be able to use the stove dockside due to the heavy amperage draw.

The draw would be in excess of 367A at 12V if you're looking at using your 12V battery supply away from the dock. Sorry to piss on your corn flakes.

WOW, I was not aware that NJ marinas typically provide 220 AC power to slips. Two-phase power is usually pretty expensive. If you have it, why not flaunt it?

It will be a challenge to add the battery power needed to serve an electric stove/oven.

On the other hand, if you have a generator sized for that power source, you could be golden.

Well I am living aboard my hunter for the winter an would like to put in a new force 10
propane stove for cooking but even a new one needs to be vented because i keep the cabin pretty tightl sealed up to keep the warm air from my diesel espar boiler
so if i keep the propane i need to install a exhaust fan system an it will suck all the heat from the cabin
so i am going with a force 10 electric 3 burner stove 220 volt 20 amp
An if i want to use propane i can fire up the grill on the back an cook outside

or get a bigger converter for i got ( 4 )12 volt batteries each at 600 amps each
pushing out 2400 amp hrs
So any one done a a electric stove installation

I was recently involved with an install of a 120 VAC Force 10 electric stove. It has 3 quartz burners rated @ 1200watts ea, but they draw 1300w. The oven was supposed to be 1300 watts, but draws more like 1500 watts. It runs off of a single Multiplus 3000 and an LFP house bank of 600 AH. Running one burner and the oven at full tilt results in an overload warning on the Multiplus. No surprise there. This installation pleased the owner since his goal was to get rid of propane onboard. He was fine with the limitations.

You could power a 220V range off of a single Multiplus or Quattro with an Autotransformer, depending on the current draw. A Quattro 5000 should easliy power it.
