Hopefully somebody will come along to clean up my post and verbiage here.
From what I think I know, in order to obtain say a 20 amp 240volt (balanced power) circuit, you would need a 20 amp dual-circuit breaker installed at the service panel.
Of course, this is assuming you have one slot available on both phases/legs of the service panel. One directly across from the other.
Secondly, you would need 10/2 gauage wiring. The black or hot lead is connected to one side of the dual circuit breaker and the white or neutral is connected to the other side of the dual circuit breaker.
There's a number of safety issues involved but I believe that's it in a nutshell. Grounding is optional but recommended.
And of course you must ensure your equipment is wired for 240 volts. If you are looking for 120 volt balanced power, then I believe there's some kind of down converter required to bring the 120 + 120 volts down to 60 + 60 volts.
