I have a deep double fryer I am wiring up, voltage is 208/240, power is 5400/7200 watts, it will be 45 feet from the main electric panel, what size wire and fuses should I use

What sort of occupancy is this in? Is the wiring going to be exposed or concealed? – ThreePhaseEel Feb 16 at 21:38

What do the instructions call for? – JACK Feb 16 at 21:45
You'll need 8 AWG copper wire. Your breaker will need to be 40A and 2-pole. Unless the labeling or instructions says otherwise.
