What else can I help you with?
Originally a 240V line running from the 50A circuit to a box contaning in line fuses from this box came a 240V cable having 2 black wires and wire braid do I wire the outlet stove as a 3 or 4 prong?
Based on the description, it sounds like you should wire the stove outlet as a 3-prong outlet since the cable you have appears to have two hot wires and a ground wire (wire braid). Connect the two black wires to the hot terminals and the wire braid to the ground terminal on the stove outlet. Remember to ensure that the circuit is properly grounded for safety.
Can you join red and black wires to get 240V?
You should never trust any wiring without using a tester (get one at hardware or home improvement store. ) in USA, White/grey/bare wire is neutral, colored wire is hot (live). In a pure 240v connection, there are two hot wires and no neutral wire. Sometimes they still use black and white for this. If you are seeing black and red wires you might be looking at a split phase panel -- you'd best check that out
When connecting a 240V line with two hot wires and a ground does it make a difference if the red or black hot wires are connected to L1 or L2 for a jet pump pressure switch?
No, it does not matter which hot wire (red or black) is connected to L1 or L2 for a jet pump pressure switch in a 240V setup. The important thing is to ensure that each hot wire is connected to one of the two load terminals of the pressure switch. Make sure to also connect the ground wire for safety.
How do you wire a 1500W 240V flood light that has ground white and black wires?
the wires coming off double pole will give you 240 volts,110 each the black and white hook to these,doesn`t matter which way,ground to ground Ground is always ground, Black and white are your two "hots." You will need a dedicated circuit, you cannot run this off existing 120V wiring. A 15A 240V circuit should be more than sufficient. If this is a permanent instalation you can use 14/2 wire as you normally would, and wire it as you normally would with the exception of the 240V breaker. If you install switches, timers, etc. Make sure they are all rated for 240V. Remember, you can't just mix-and-match between 120 and 240V. 240 appliances will not run on 120 and 120 appliances will burn up on 240.
What is required to connect a 240V air compressor if there are only two line terminals at the pressure switch with white and black going to the motor side?
On mine there is hot and neutral for the main connections. Then the ground has a separate screw that it connects too sort of under(below) the switch. I think I used 8 gauge wire. I cant remember now.

What is the appropriate wire size for a 240V 40 amp circuit?
For a 240V 40 amp circuit, the appropriate wire size would be 8 AWG (American Wire Gauge) for copper conductors or 6 AWG for aluminum conductors.
