Other posters have given you the wire sizes.
What you may not know is that the water heater usually take 3 wires. Where as the dryer and Stove will take 4 wires. Most people use SER cable for these larger loads.
Better check your appliances to be sure.
Greetings,
Where I live people normally use 10 AWG Romex not SER.
Hope this helps, William
Can I get the proper wire sizes for the following:

Using copper
30A= #10 50A= #6H20 tank may require a #6 separate bare ground wire connected to the water pipe at the heater based on local codes.
Do you really need 50A for the stove?
40A= #8According to Colbyt :
50A == #6 or #8 depends on precise wire type and length.#6 will almost always be right, #8 much less so.
Hi, To have peace in mind, #8, #6, #8 in order. Tony
