We have an old stove wired with #3 6/G copper. Can we use that wire to install 50 amp subpanel and run a 40 amp cooktop and 20 amp wall oven off that subpanel? Thanks

If you're saying you have 3 wires + a ground wire and the size is #6. Then yes.

Thank you so much. It is a 3 wire with a ground wire that is #6. We thought it would be OK and glad to have it confirmed.
