You need a double pole relay, that is a relay with 4 connection places. [screws, etc.]. Place your 2 hot wires on the screws marked line, makes no difference which wire on which screw. The 2 wires being energized by the relay action go on the load screws of the relay. Square D makes a good quiet relay. Also make sure you buy a relay large enough to carry the load. The amperage on the device the relay is to control will determine the relay size. See View Discussion for more information.
What else can I help you with?
How many wires does a straight 220V circuit have?
A straight 220V circuit typically has 2 wires - one hot wire (typically black or red) and one neutral wire (typically white). These wires are used to carry the electrical current to and from the device being powered.
How many conductors in 220v 30amp circuit using?
A 220V 30A circuit typically requires three conductors: two hot wires and one ground wire. An additional neutral wire may be needed depending on the specific electrical configuration or equipment being used.
What size wire and circuit breaker is needed for an electric oven 4 wires with rated load of 34.9 amps 220v that is about 100 foot run from the electrical panel?
That would be a 40 amp 220v circuit. Circuit breaker is 40 amps and wire is 8 awg. Should use solid copper wire. Follow oven installation instructions.
Where do you use double pole circuit breakers?
For 220v circuits
How do I get 220 volt circuit?
If you need a 220v circuit at only 15 or 20 amps: Get a new breaker to replace your 110v single pole breaker with a 220v double pole breaker. (You cannot exceed the original breaker's amperage rating unless you also replace the wire with a larger size). Shut off the panel's main breaker (the wires coming into the main breaker will remain hot, so don't touch them.) Remove the old 110v circuit's neutral (white) from the neutral bus bar in your distribution panel. Remove the old 110v circuit's hot (black) from the old 110v breaker. Remove the old 110v breaker. Install the new 220v breaker in place of the old breaker. (This may require you to rearrange some breakers if the old breaker was in between others) Reconnect the black wire to one terminal of the 220v breaker, and reconnect the white wire to the other terminal. Turn on the main breaker, and your new 220v breaker. Before you do this, be sure where the actual circuit goes. Changing 110v to 220v if the circuit is feeding regular 110v receptacles will cause damage to devices plugged into them. Be sure you remove all 110v devices (receptacles) from the circuit before converting it. If you need a 220v circuit for a dryer or other large appliance, your existing wiring will not be sufficient to do the above. You will need to install a new breaker and wiring. For this task, you should consult a professional electrician.

What is The Voltage Of each wire in Straight 220V Circuit?
Voltage is not an absolute figure. Voltage Difference is the exact term. So, the voltage difference between the two wires in the 220 V circuit will be 220V.
How many conductors in 220v 30amp circuit using?
A 220V 30A circuit typically requires three conductors: two hot wires and one ground wire. An additional neutral wire may be needed depending on the specific electrical configuration or equipment being used.
What is relay driver?
A relay is an electro-magnetic switch which is useful if you want to use a low voltage circuit to switch on and off a light bulb (or anything else) connected to the 220v mains supply.
What is the recommended wire size for a 220v electrical circuit?
The recommended wire size for a 220v electrical circuit is typically 10-gauge wire.
What size wire and circuit breaker is needed for an electric oven 4 wires with rated load of 34.9 amps 220v that is about 100 foot run from the electrical panel?
