How do you wire a 15 amp breaker for 240v?
A single pole 15 amp breaker can only be setup for 120v. You need a double pole 15 amp breaker, which looks like two 15a breakers attached with a bar across the two actuators. Each leg provides 120v, or in the case of your breaker, 240v across the two legs.
