trouble with oven wiring

[myillwillinc]

i have a 3 prong plug and a 30 amp circuit breaker. i'm running the red and black to the ccb and the white to the bus bar, then the the red off the cb goes to one plug on the element and the black goes to the one, this pops the cb everytime. can anyone give some advice on wiring for i am not a electrician...

it should be a 30 amp CONTACTOR not a circuit breaker
basically it goes like this
ON/off switch to thermostat
thermostat to coil in contator
contator to elemnts

and it works like this
you turn ON the switch
the switch turns ON the thermostat
thermostat turns ON the coil
coil turns ON the contator
contactor turns ON the elements
once the elemnts get to the temp set on the thermostat
the thermostat turns off the coil and the coild shots down the contactor wich turns off the elements.

it's not a cience is just a matter of logic.

You have a 220/230 volt element... correct?
A lot of house oven elements are 110/120 volt....
