In most cases, an electric stove cannot be plugged into a regular outlet. Electric stoves typically require a higher voltage and amperage than what a standard residential outlet can provide. Most electric stoves require a dedicated circuit with a higher voltage, usually 240 volts, to operate safely and effectively.
Standard residential outlets, also known as 120-volt outlets, are typically used for smaller appliances and electronics that require less power. Plugging an electric stove into a regular outlet could overload the circuit, potentially leading to electrical hazards, such as overheating, tripping the circuit breaker, or even causing a fire.
To install an electric stove, you would typically need a specialized outlet that can handle the higher voltage and amperage requirements. It is recommended to consult a licensed electrician for proper installation to ensure the stove is safely connected to the electrical supply.
