If you have 10 3 wire from your electric panel and it is going to an air conditioner disconnect should the white wire be caped or grounded?
The white wire is neutral. If you need 110V at whatever this is supplying you need to connect it to neutral (Not ground). If you only want 220V you can simply cap it with a wire nut at both ends and leave it unused. If you can connect it do neutral, do so. The next person will expect it to be neutral and it is better to have it tied to neutral than floating. If in doubt, go to your local home improvement center and buy a book. It will teach you how to do it legally and will serve as a handy reference during the job. Finally, I will add do it right or don't do it at all. If you are negligent you could easily kill someone through fire or electrocution. If you read and do your homework and learn what it required you may find that small electrical repairs can be quick and easy. If you can't understand what you need to do hire an electrician. The cost of a professional is not worth the time you will waste if you don't understand what you are doing and the danger therein.

It means that the 240 volts is connected directly to the device rather than being connected through an outlet.
