Double Pole Circuit Breaker Wiring. Double pole breakers snap onto two poles for a total of 240 volts. Do this until you expose the bare copper wires. When single pole breakers are installed they snap into one pole to receive 120 volts.
Do this until you expose the bare copper wires. Using a wire cutter or a wire stripper strip the wires off inch of insulation from the black red as well as the white wires you find.
Make sure the wire is gauged well in order to support the amperage of the breaker.
Take the wire of the double pole circuit breaker. These breakers can be used to serve two separate 120 volt circuits or they can serve a single 240 volt circuit such as your central ac s circuit. First of all switch off your incoming supply breaker and if your incoming supply have no breaker and your are gonna to instill first breaker then connect first the out going supply wires to breaker and then connect the incoming supply carefully as shown in the below image diagram. Double pole breakers have two hot wires that are connected by a single neutral wire.
