Birds don't get electrocuted unless they touch something else besides just the wire -- the electricity will then flow through their bodies toward whatever they're touching. Sometimes you do see birds that have been killed by the electric wires.

How do you wire a 15 amp 120V breaker in a 240v 30 amp breaker panel?

Look to see if the 30 amp panel is fed with a two wire or a three wire. If it is a two wire then you are out of luck. If the panel is fed with a three wire then the panel should have the neutral terminated in the panel. It is this neutral that you need for 120 volt connections. You didn't state how many panel slots there are in the panel. If you are able install a 15 amp breaker into the panel and connect the wires going to the load. The black wire will go to the breaker and the white wire will go to the neutral bar in the panel.


Does the electricity that goes into your house go back out again?

Yes it does, via the neutral wire.


1979 ford f100 fuel tank theres a green wire and a black wire where does the black wire go the green wire is hooked up but not the black one?

One wire goes to the sending unit in the tank. It should hook to a terminal beside where the fuel line connects. The other one grounds out the body of the sending unit or the whole plate where the fuel line goes into the tank. 3-4 inch round plate. The ground wire will either go into the wire harness with the sending unit one or ground directly to the frame. The ground wire on all gas tanks very often rusts off.

If the bird is not touching the ground or another conductor while sitting on the high voltage wire, it will not be shocked. This is due to the principle of equipotentiality, where the bird and the wire are at the same electrical potential.
