Tom:Yep, its a #3. I know because its much bigger than the other two and that is why the mounting stud was broken. The wire was too big for the clamp. I think in a stove cord, you have 2 leads which are 220 between them and a common (not ground) that is 110 to each lead. The common is than servicing 2 hot leads. I'm not an electrician, but I did sleep at holiday Inn once!

Typically range cords consists of two #6 (power conductors) and one #8 (ground wire). On most power cord assemblies, the grounding wire size is equal to, or as you get into the larger conductor sizes, one wire size smaller.Tom Kuffa Carlisle, Pa.
