thanks Furd. that was the solution.

ActionDave you must have been correct when you said they must be on the same phase. I moved the breaker over one slot and it works fine. The buss bar has square slots for pairs of breakers. 240v 2 pole breakers must split between two of the squares. Thanks for everyones input.

I had a three wire plug and wire on this breaker and had 240v at the plug. I switched it to a 4 wire and plug to match the dryer. Now I don't have the 240v. It's an old Panel with Federal Pacific thin Stab-Lok breakers.

Yes, each one tests okay with 240 when testing both poles. The only thing that I can come up with is that the breaker is bad, but I don't understand why I get the 120v when testing each pole seperate.

I have checked and rechecked the connections. I have a hot water heater and a range that are each 2 Pole 30 amp breakers. I just added the dryer 2 Pole 30 amp breaker.

It is a double wide breaker. It will not trip one breaker seperate like a ganged breaker.

I am having some issues with a 2pole 30amp 240 breaker. It appears that I am not getting 240 volts at my outlet. I have a multimeter and when I check each pole I get 120 on each pole, but I don't get 240 when testing both poles. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Martin
