The wattage of a stove resistor wire depends on various factors, including its length, material, and intended use. Since you provided the wire diameter (0.6mm), we still need additional information to calculate the wattage accurately.

To calculate the wattage of the resistor wire, you would need to know:

  1. Length of the wire: The longer the wire, the higher the resistance, and thus, a higher wattage to produce a certain amount of heat.

  2. Material of the wire: Different materials have different resistivity values, affecting the resistance and, consequently, the wattage.

  3. Voltage applied: The voltage across the resistor wire determines the current flowing through it, which is essential for calculating the wattage (Watts = Voltage^2 / Resistance).

  4. Operating temperature: The desired operating temperature will also influence the resistance and wattage required.

Once you have all the necessary information, you can use the formula: Watts = (Voltage^2) / Resistance, to calculate the wattage of the stove resistor wire.

Remember, working with electrical components can be dangerous and requires knowledge of electrical systems and safety precautions. If you are considering modifying or repairing a stove or any electrical appliance, it is best to consult a qualified electrician or technician.
