how do i hook up a 240v to a fuse panel?

Answer 1

You said "Fuse" Panel.
1- You will need two empty fuse sockets (unused) to begin with.
2- You will need a four conductor line to take this power to where you will be using it.
a- 12/3 romex w/ground for a 20 Amp load.
b- 10/3 romex w/ground for a 30 Amp load.
c- 8/3 romex w/ground for a 40 Amp load
3- Get the right length and size wire.
4- You will need a multimeter and knowledge of how to use it to locate the 2 different hot wires that add up to 240 (120 + 120)
5- There will be a neutral bar in the box with the white wires connected to them.
6- The 2 power busses take the incoming power to the center contact of each fuse socket. (You can see it's not easy an very unsafe) [Safe way is to put in 2 fuses and check the power out on the side screws. Again 120 + 120 = 240. Red to one and black to the other. The white wire goes to neutral and the bare wire goes to ground.
7- Do all the wiring first then put the fuses in and your done.
Best of all get a good electrician to show you any alternatives and the safest way to do it.

The First Thing: Install the receptacle FIRST!, THEN go to the panel. You need a 240v,2-pole breaker,of the amperage rating for your appliance(30amp.for most dryers,for instance)
Most modern dryers are sold with a 4 prong(2 hot,1 common(or white),and 1 ground. Therefore,you must run 10/3 with ground cable(for a 30amp.circuit). If you have an appliance with a 3-prong,you can run 10/2 w/gr.,but use the 10/3 w/gr.anyway,because it's safer.(just put the white and the ground under the ground and/or neutral terminal)
When you get the plug completed,then go to the panel(or fuse box,as you call it).Install the breaker,put the red on one breaker terminal,black on the other.The white goes to a screw on the neutral bar(like all the other whites in there)and the bare ground goes there,too.(same screw is OK) Make sure to run all the wires so they're not touching the main buss anywhere.
Flip the breaker on,and if it stays on,go to the plug and test with a good voltage meter.If you got 240v across the two hot legs,plug the dryer in,and turn it on.If it don't run,call a qualified electrician to check it out.
Sears,Home Depot,Popular Mechanics,and a bunch of other DIY people have websites that have pictorial,step by step instructions available.

Answer 3

There are two bars coming down in your circuit breaker box, they are both 120V, but they are out of phase with each other. So you get a 240v breaker which looks like 2 regular ones riveted together, then you need to run the wire to where it is going to be used there will be FOUR wires instead of the normal 3, Red (1 phase), Black (2nd phase), White (neutral), Green or bare (ground). When you get the wires to their destination you hook them up to the appliance as it is marked.
The two out of phase 120's produce a 240 volt SINGLE phase (there is also a type of hookup called 3-phase 240 - leave this to a professional)

Answer 4

You must run 2 hot wires to a 240VAC outlet. Electric dryer for example...see link below. You'll need 4 wire cable (3 plus ground) in the correct gauge for the amperage breaker.

If you are unsure about electricity....do not attempt. YOU only get 1 chance if you screw up inside the houses' main panel.

Answer 5

you will 2 sides to your panel your blk &red will go to the topone on the left one on the right then your green goes to the ground

GOOD LUCK

Answer 6

Very Carefully!

Answer 7

I am assuming you want to bring 240 out of the panel. Run your wiring into the panel. You need to purchase the right sized breaker, place black wire on one side of breaker and white wire on other side.
