How do you hook up a 4 wire double pole box from the power of a sub box with no neutral BUS?

If you have a "sub box" with no neutral supplied to it, then you can't safely wire a four lead receptacle as you can't provide the needed neutral, the grounded conductor, to the device your feeding.

Which is best double pole or single pole power socket?
there is no answer a single pole socket is a 120v and a double pole is 240v if you are talking about contactors it is completely up to the appliance but a double pole double throw is just as safe as a single pole single throw contactor, Example a single pole single throw will only disconnect the "hot" wire, not the neutral or ground wire and thus no voltage will pass however with a 240 v circuit a double pole single throw only disconnects one "hot" wire and will still have voltage through the circuit (120 volts not 240 though)and is not as safe as a double pole double throw that will disconnect both "hot" lines so no voltage is in circuit If you need electrical work done and do not completely know how to wire it up to code and be safe in the process hire a professional! >>>ITS WORTH YOUR LIFE<<<
Where does the neutral wire go on a single pole switch?
Unless the switch has a light to indicate the switch is turned on, there is no neutral connection to a single pole switch.
How do you tell a single pole breaker from a double pole breaker?
AnswerAccording to my husband, all sockets are double pole, single and double pole refer to switches. Hope that helps. Double pole isolates both neutral and live, single pole only isolates live, double is better, but single is cheaper. DP-switched sockets have only become commonplace in relatively recent times anyway, marketed on yet another "increased safety" angle when there was never any safety problem with SP to begin with.
Why do you convert 120v circuits to 220v circuits?
You would need to change a circuits voltage if your adding a load that requires 220 when the present circuit supplies 120. If you need to do so it's pretty simple! First purchase a double pole breaker at the proper amp rating. Next find the breaker in the panel that supplies power to the circuit you wish to change to 220. Turn off the breaker and pull it out. Find the neutral for that circuit. Then double check and make sure it's the right neutral. Then check one more time. Now take the neutral and the hot wire for that circuit and connect them to the double pole breaker. install the breaker into the panel and turn it on. If you connected the right neutral you'll have 220 on that circuit. If you didn't you'll know because you'll trip the breaker.
What is difference between single pole and double pole switch?
A single pole switch interrupts only one wire, which must be the live wire. A double pole switch interrupts both the live and the neutral, so it contains two separate switches operated by the same lever. Current practice is to use single-pole switches, to avoid a fault condition which could leave equipment live while switched off.
What is the function of Iron Clad Double Pole switches?
Double pole switches isolate the power by cutting off both phase and neutral simultaneously.
What is TPN power supply?
Triple pole and neutral supply
What is the definition of SPN MCB?
the (mcb) is miniature circuit breaker SPN is Single Pole w/neutral DP is double pole TPN is tripple pole w/neutral)MCB =Miniature circuit breaker b)SPN=Single pole and neutral ( 1 terminal for live and 1 terminal for Neutral cable for wire connection. Pole refers to a power cable connection on the MCB) c)TPN=Triple Pole & Neutral (ie. altogether 4 cable input and 4 cable out from the MCB) d) DP refers to Double Pole (with no specific neutral terminal.Still one pole may be used for that. The A refers to rated Current in amperes. Also important is ( i) the rated voltages which will govern the given in Amperes.(ii) Duty it is meant for eg. lighting , motor power etc. (Motor duty for eg is A3). Also whether AC or C supply.

What does double pole mean on a cooker control unit?
"Double-pole" refers to the type of switch used to disconnect the cooker from the incoming household electricity supply. Only by using a double-pole switch can the cooker's connections to both the live (or "hot") and neutral supply wires be switched on and off simultaneously.
Can new 10-2 with ground be used for a 240V water heater if it doesn't have a hook up for the neutral and just uses the ground wire?
Yes it can be done that way. Just make sure to use a double-pole breaker to ensure each wire is on an opposite phase.
What is the difference between single pole mcb and double pole mcb?
A single pole circuit breaker can protect one hot wire to a given load where as a two pole circuit breaker can protect two hot wires to a given load. In the North American system this would equate to 120 volts on a single pole circuit breaker and 240 volts on a two pole circuit breaker.
How do you wire a double pole thermostat to two baseboard heaters?
This is wiring 2 baseboard heaters with a double pole wall thermostat you run the power wire to the thermostat on the wall then you run a wire to the 1st heater and then you run another wire from the 1st heater to the 2nd heater and hook red on red and black on black with wiring mariette's in the heaters junction box on left or right side which ever is more suitable for you and then you go to the wall thermostat and hook red on red and black on black with the wiring mariette's and then you hook your power wire to the power supply which is 100 or 200 amp service and on a double 20 breaker and the wire has to be no smaller than 12/2 wire. also do not forget to hook the ground wire (bare copper) on the green screw on your heater and in the thermostat box and then on the power supply box..... now you can turn up your thermostat and enjoy the heat ...........LEE48
What is ICDP switch?
ICDP Stands For Iron Clad Double Pole. It is also known as Main Switch. It contain two fuse. One is for phase wire and another is for neutral wire.
How do you hook up a sub panel box for 220 and 110?
You bring in the two phases from the main panel plus a neutral wire and a ground wire. you land the two hot wires on the two hot lugs at the top of the panel and the neutral wire to the neutral buss.and the ground wire to the ground buss strip. when you take power from a single breaker and the neutral, its 110. when you pull power from both hots on a 2 pole breaker with no neutral, its 220 If you dont have a set of lugs at the top, you can feed into a two pole breaker mounted in the panel.Make sure your panel has a two phase lug mount. to check to make sure, with the breaker mounted and no power wires connected and all the breakers except your new 2 pole breaker off. use an ohm meter to make sure that there is no conductivity between the two pole breaker terminals. if there is conductivity, thre panel is not suitable to feed with 220, its a 110 panel, with only one phase back board.
