How do l seal of stove wire while finishing the kitchen ?

[random]

Hey people.
l've gotta throw the old stove out and do something with it's wire for a few weeks while l finish the wall ready for the new one.
l can tuck the wire safely into the wall but how would l seal of the end of it for awhile ?

Thanks

Does the oven have its own fuse? Else you can tape it up with electrical wire (turn mains off first) and use tape or a hook to hang it high our of reach

Fuse hu, never thought of that.

Or tape it hey, what would that be just insulation tape , is that enough ?
Do l just slice the whole wire smooth and just tape over it, lots of layers l spose yeah ?
Thanks for that.

PS , just took a look , only hot/w and a couple of power/light fuses. Then a couple of bigger ones above with nothing written on then so it doesn't seem to have a fuse.

Go get a junction box and make sure you screw down hard on the ends. You can tape it up too if you want. If you tape bare wires there's always a risk they can poke thru the tape. If there's an incident your insurance could be compromised .

the stove has Aat least 5 1500-3000 watt elements, it is a high current device, usually one of the large fuses.
If you cut the cable you will short the active and neutral through the tool. the current arc will fry the tool and possibly the operator. then the cable would be too short to use for the restore of power

and, dead is so embarrassing

this may be a good time to employ a trade to make safe, and identify the circuit,
Electricity is not a try it and see, or a good thing to learn on
for the callout cost it would be better to use a sparkie to isolate.

you could also watch the correct way to identify the circuit, isolate it, for future, non-dying situations

Sorry, yes. If you know what you are doing and mains power is off then use this on the active and neutral

and then use electrical tape over the end.

You would have your electrician make the cable safe and mark the fuse/breaker as do not reconnect.

After all DIY electrical is illegal, yes?

Ah , by cutting the cable l meant power off of course, wire unscrew from stove as@@ and then snip those ends of smooth to tape it up that's all .
The wire just runs down wall behind stove see .

l'm no expert obviously but swapped plenty of lights and power points around .

don't do that, takes ALL the fun out of it ( havent got a fozzie bear "wocka wocka wocka" icon)

the other part was serious, if you didnt know, a tradie once to scope the proceedures is a good thing
