Wiring Sub Panel

bobkbb10

I have a 240 volt power supply. I'm installing a 100amp sub panel. I only need 120 volts out of the panel. How do i wire the 240 volt power supply in the homelite sub panel and have 120 volts at the breakers?

Do you understand how 120/240 works?
IMO if you need to ask such questions, perhaps you should call a pro

Maybe im just reading the question wrong. Please explain more.

You require two hots a neutral and a ground at the new panel location.

Is the subpanel located in the same building. What size wire did you run? Need more info.

The 240v supply is divided across the two phases in the sub panel, each of which measures 120v from phase to neutral. A standard single pole circuit breaker connects to only one phase and, therefore, supplies 120v.

That said, if your understanding of electricity is very basic, a sub panel is probably not the job to cut your teeth on. I would, as others have recommended, call an electrician to help you out. And I can't emphasize enough that I don't mean that as an insult I'm just concerned about ya safety wise.
