Wiring is not a hobby, call a licensed electrical contractor. Sounds
like you have a real "cluster fu@k" going on, especially with the
Stab-lok panel. You are over you head and can easliy burn down your
house or kill yourself and others. The WORSE thing here is (and nobody
picked up on) is this is a swimming pool heater, and you did not
mention electrical bonding of pool related equipment. Trust me I
investigate this stuff for a living.

Hi,
I have recently purchased a new swimming pool heater, installed it next
to the shed in the backyard so naturally had to get electricity to it
from the main panel in the house.
I have a stab-lok panel in the house so I got a 50 amp NC0250cp bracer
that I installed in the house panel then connected the black wire and
the Red wire to each pole of the breaker the white wire to the neutral
of the panes and the Ground to the Ground I am using outdoor 6AWG wire.
I got the wire outside underground and to the shed where I installed a
new panel wired it up by connecting each Black and Reb to each main
connector of the new panel the white to the neutral bar and the ground
to the Ground bar I put in a 15amp single pole breaker for the pool
pump and a 30amp breaker for the pool heater.

with my voltmeter I cam measure 120vac when I go across neutral and
each Black and Red but when I measure across Black and Red I don't get
240vac I find that strange.

when 50amp breaker is on in the house and the 15amp breaker is on in
the shed the pomp works well but I would like to see if the 240 VAC is
ok before I connect up the pool heater.

Can you please help


Replace the Stab-Loc "incendiary device" a.k.a. panel before you burn
down your house. Then hook up the new heater to a proper two pole
breaker in a proper panel. My preference is for Square D QO panels, but
most anything current would be better that the Stab-Loc waiting to burn
the place down.
