15351 is 240 Volt timer... requires 240 Volt to run clock motor.
You need a neutral wire to connect 120 Volt lights.

15351 has same wiring as Tork 1104

SOURCE: How do I wire my GE 15306 timer to 1 110 volt line

The Black hot wire from your house supply goes on the terminal below the L and 1.

The White neutral wire from your house supply goes to the terminal below the X.

Connect a White neutral wire from the terminal below the X to your neutral on your load.

Connect a Black wire from terminal #2 to the Black on your load.

This wires up both your timer clock and will turn on your device, too.

SOURCE: how do I wire a double pole double throw 240 volt

You posted under GE timer, but added the brand name Intermatic.
GE and Intermatic timers are totally different.
Wiring below is for GE and will not apply to Intermatic.

Step 1) lets cover basic GE timer wiring for 240Volt load.
Be sure to set dip switches BEFORE applying power.
Step by step illustrations show on following link.
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-wire-GE-15207-timer.html

Step 2) Load wires exit GE timer.
There are two Hot wires and 1 bare ground wire.

Step 3) Wire the outlets: You have 4 240Volt plugs.
This could mean a receptacle-type outlet like a clothes dryer outlet or air conditioner outlet.
Or it could be a twist-lock receptacle or extension-cord-type stage plug.
In all cases, look at screw color on device.
Connect Hot wires to brass colored screws.
Connect ground wire to green screw.

Step 4) Calculate total Load
Manual appears below: Look at Normally Open contacts. These contacts turn ON when timer turns ON.
http://waterheatertimer.org/15087-15207-56922-Manual-eng.pdf
Total load on all 4 plugs cannot exceed 2 HP
Generally, a 30 amp timer is rated for max 24 Amps or 6 amps per each of the 4 plugs.
Volts x amps = watts.
Take total watts and divide by 240Volts to get amps.

I have a new GE 15306 Mechanical Time Switch and need to wire it up to 2 white and 2 black wires that I had on my old timer. I need more information on the wiring than is on the diagram on cover of metal...

http://waterheatertimer.org/images/GE-15306-wiring-250.jpg
http://waterheatertimer.org/GE-timers-and-manuals.html#15306

GE 15306 is a version of 120Volt Tork 1101 indoor-outdoor timer sold at Home Depot under GE name and number.

You have 2 cables.
One cable comes from Breaker box, and other cable goes to Load (light, fan, motor, pump).
Each cable has black and white wire.
1) Cable from breaker box: Black wire H Hot connects to to terminal L.
Notice there is a metal bridge that connects terminal L and terminal 1.
If metal bridge is missing, use a jumper wire and connect L and 1.
White N Neutral from breaker box connects to terminal X.
2) Cable going to Load:
Black connects to terminal 2
White connects to terminal X.
So both white wires are on terminal X.

How do I wire a 24 hour timer

You posted under GE box-type electro-mechanical timer.
If this is not your timer, then add a comment with clear description of your timer.

GE box-timer wiring appears on following link.
http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-wire-GE-15207-timer.html
I don't know why GE has so many different model numbers with the same wiring and programming instructions and exact same Load capabilities.
I do know some of these GE timers are prone to running fast, and maybe different models have improved circuit boards or timing clocks.
Caution: set dip switches before applying power to unit to avoid damage to timer.

Wiring on page above uses the NO terminals.
NO terminals are 'normally open,' which means these terminals turn ON only when timer turns ON.

NC or 'normally closed' terminals are ON at all times EXCEPT when timer turns ON.
When timer turns ON, the NC terminals turn OFF.

These GE timers can be wired for a wide variety of uses not shown on link above.
They can control multiple Loads in 120 and 240, and can control 24 volt loads.
However, they are not made for 3-phase.
If you add a comment with specifics of your wiring requirement, I will help more for free.

How do I wire my GE 15306 timer to 1 110 volt line so it will work?

The Black hot wire from your house supply goes on the terminal below the L and 1.

The White neutral wire from your house supply goes to the terminal below the X.

Connect a White neutral wire from the terminal below the X to your neutral on your load.

Connect a Black wire from terminal #2 to the Black on your load.

This wires up both your timer clock and will turn on your device, too.

GE Digital Time Switch (15132) for basic landscape lighting

Leave the breaker off, remove the wires from the timer and just connect them. then turn the power on. Unless you have a short somewhere, the lights should come on. What you have just done is made the breaker your switch. If the breaker kicks you know to keep looking for a short as it is not the timer. Regards, Joe
