Have 240v 30amp breaker need to connect a 240volt 40 amp cooktop can you do this I have a 103 600volt wire the cooktop power supply requires 240volt 4 wire 60 hz?

Yes you can. As long as you don't use 40 amps. The 30 amp breaker may kick off if you use all things at once. So you are well protected but not up to code. The 4th wire required for the new stove is probably a ground fault wire. So run a new cable or cook slower.

Is square D breaker compatible with westinghouse panels?
Not usually. They connect differently.
Can you use 40 amp breaker for your lights and plug ins?
If you are referring to house wiring then the answer is no. A breaker protects the wire size that is connected to the breaker. In home wiring most homes are wired with a #14 wire which is rated at 15 amps. That is why the wire is protected by a 15 amp breaker. The correct wire size to connect to a 40 amp breaker is a #8. This size wire is too large to connect to receptacles an light fixture terminals.
Where do you connect the two leads of a shunt trip breaker?
Usually the breaker's shunt trip coil is tied to a corresponding current transformer that is sized to the amperage that is allowed to be passed through the breaker. These types of breakers can also be connected into a distribution monitoring device. If the monitor detects a phase reversal or phase loss or voltage rise or drop the breakers shunt trip coil is remotely energized and isolates equipment down stream from the fault. Shunt trip coil circuits are also used as safety circuits where the situation calls for only one breaker to be energized at a time. If the second breaker is inadvertently closed, this would allow both breakers to be on, the second breaker's auxiliary contacts that are an internally part of that breaker will close the safety circuit and energize the shunt trip in the first breaker to causing it to open. So as you can see the two wires could be part of many wiring configurations depending on what situation calls for.
Can a 220 Volt well motor be added to a 200 amp box or does it need its own box?
The well pump breaker is installed in two slots in your breaker box. You then run the correct size cable for the amperage of the pump to the area where the pressure tank is located. install a breaker or disconnect on the wall near the pressure tank and then connect the low pressure switch to the disconnect. Connect the pump to the low pressure switch.
Is a ground fault indicator outlet installed at the breaker box?
There are tow places to put a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter. There is a GFCI breaker which would be installed in a breaker box and a GFCI outlet that can be installed anywhere. Most GFCI outlets allow you to connect regular outlets to the GFCI and those outlets will also be protected.
How do you connect 3 wire to 2 wire 240volt's I'm trying to remove the washerdryer outlet and branch four 240v receptacles from the 240volt 3 wire outlet?
just leave the neutral wire as it is and connect the other two !!
What will happen if you connect 12volt battery to a 240VOLT capacitor?
If the capacitor is charged then the battery will explode.
How many wires are used for a 460 volt circuit breaker?
If the load is single phase and the load requires 460 volts to operate, then two conductors will be needed and they will connect to a two pole breaker. If the load is three phase and the load requires 460 volts to operate, then three conductors will be needed and they will connected to a three pole breaker. The sizing of the wires will depend upon the current that is drawn by the loads.
Where do you connect the white wire from the shunt breaker?
Connect to the circuit neutral wire which should also be white.
How do you wire a 220v connection into the main panel?
I assume you mean you are wiring a 220 volt circuit. You will install a 220 volt double pole breaker of the correct size for the circuit. An example would be for an electric dryer that requires a 30 amp double pole breaker wired with 10/3 wire. You connect the Red & Black wires to the breaker. One on each screw. You now connect the White wire to the neutral bus bar in the service panel. Then connect the bare copper ground wire to the ground bus bar in the service panel. At the dryer outlet connect the black & red to the hot screws, white to the neutral, and ground to ground. They will be labeled on the back of the outlet.

Do you need to use some type of mini breaker panel with a single 15A circuit breaker to connect a 15A receptacle into a 30A line?
To be short...Yes
How do you wire a wire to a wire?
If you are connecting 120 volts, you connect the black wire to the breaker, white wire to the neutral bar, and ground wire to the ground bar. If you are connecting 240 volts connect the black & white wires to the breaker, & ground wire to the ground bar.
