If you are talking about a 4-wire branch circuit you'll need to start with a 220 VAC breaker. It will have two terminals. Connect black and red wires to the two terminals. Doesn't matter in which order you make this connection. The white wire goes to the neutral bus bar where all other white wires are connected. The green or bare wire goes to ground bus where other bare wires are connected.

Can a 220 VAC breaker be single pole or does it have to always be a double pole breaker?
U.S. 240 VAC breakers are always double pole since they are protecting two legs of the circuit.
What does 220 VAC stand for?
220 volts alternating current
Why gen output of 220 volt increase too 400 volt?
How to increase 220 VAC to 400 VAC? Please advise me about it.
Can you put two 110 wires from different breakers together to get 220?
In an emergency it will heat half your oven or half your water heater because you only have half the supply voltage. The wattage must still meet the demand for the half power, Some special connections may be necessary to use 110 temporarly on the 220 circuits.
What is the ac voltage reading between the bare copper wire and the hot black wire 120 vac or zero volt?
Should be about 120 VAC.
Why are two 30amps breaker together?
They are in tandem because they power a 220 VAC circuit, rather then a 110 VAC circuit.

What are the steps in connecting 120V to a 240V 60A air condition panel?
you should have three wires into the panel. two of them go to the double breakers or pull switch and the last is the ground lead. You can pick up 110 vac from one side of either breaker and that ground connection. DO NOT connect to the both breaker wires as that will be 220 vac
What is the minimum distance between the instrument control cables and the electrical power 220 VAC cables run in the same cable tray?
0.5 Metres roughly

Shop vac trips house breaker?
If the Shop Vac is tripping the breaker to a house turn other electronics off while it is in use. The power in the house should be checked out by a electrician.
When setting up an electric oven you have a bare wire brown wire and blue wire on your appliance and red yellow and green stripe and black on the wall which of these match up?
It is always good to check with a Volt Meter. With a 220 to 240 VAC oven you would connect the grounds which should be Green and Bare wire. The other two can be connected either way with the same results. Turn off breaker to oven before doing any work. Get an electrician if you are unsure in what you are doing.
Is the voltage in Dubai 220 volts or 110 volts?
Dubai uses 220 VAC at 50 Hz (in the USA, we use 120 VAC at 60 Hz). They also use the G type plug.
What ampts on the breaker do you needfor a 4500 watt hot water tank?
Assuming this is standard house voltage of 120 VAC your 4500 Watt heater will draw about 37.5 amps. You would normally install a 50A breaker and would have to run 8 gauge wire.
What is the ac voltage reading between the bare copper wire and the hot black wire 120 vac or zero volt?
Should be about 120 VAC.
