Can 240V Power Run a Double Oven With 208V & 240V Ovens?

Separate Circuits

• A professional double oven set up with a 208V oven and a 240V oven requires separate circuit breakers for each oven with the proper voltage, amperage, phase and hertz as indicated by model number, notes Lincoln, the manufacturer of Impinger conveyor ovens. Their larger units also require a 50-amp service. One single 240V outlet cannot service both ovens.

Conveyor Oven

• A conveyor oven cooks food at a much faster rate than standard ovens, or even convection ovens. In essence, the food is toasted as it passes by the high-intensity infrared lamps. Instead of the gentle air movement of a home convection oven, the food is blasted with high-speed air that rapidly increases the food temperature and gives the food a proper, crusty exterior.

Cooking Food

• Almost any food that can be baked can be cooked in a conveyor oven. Because the conveyor belt is variable-speed, the oven can cook anything from fast foods such as burgers to products that cook longer such as whole roast chickens. Other meals often cooked in conveyor ovens include pizzas and other bread dishes. Small units are set up to cook food such as hot dogs and sub sandwiches.

Building Codes

• Professional ovens are not allowed by building codes to be installed in homes in most municipalities. Consumer ovens must meet certain standards for safe installation within a normal kitchen, and professional ovens do not meet these standards. The professional-grade ovens are much hotter on the sides and front than is safe for a kitchen with wood cabinets and wooden support structures.
