GFCI 250V breaker: What to do with neutral?

[JAZ]

Hi, All:

I'm wiring my shop with three 20A 250V GFCI circuit breakers. Each breaker goes to a single receptacle box. There are three connectors on the breaker: Hot, Hot, and Neural. There is also a ground wire permanently attached to the breaker.

I wired 3 12AWG wires plus ground to each of the receptacle boxes.


My question is: What do I do with the neutral wire in the receptacle box? The receptacles only use the two hot wires plus the ground.

Do I just cap off the neutral wire in the box?
Do I connect the neutral wire with the ground wire?

I want to make sure this is wired correctly for the GFCI breaker to work because I don't know how to test the receptacle once I am through.

Thank you,
John
