Default Circuit Breaker Panel Question

It's called buss. There are two separate busses, one for each leg. When your
main breaker is "on" the current passes to each of the two busses and the
circuit breakers are snapped onto this buss to send the electricity to the
individual loads

3 wires coming into panel.

1 wire to ground.

2 other wires have 240 volts between them.

Each wire is connected to a 100 Amp breaker that is ganged to another.

Where do these wires connect to when the breaker is ON?

IOW If there is 240 VAC between these 2 wires they can't connect to
the same strip, can they?
