So I got a 100w CMH ballast and confused with the wiring

Is it just live and neutral doesn't matter which way round they go?

Its 220/240v so you have a line a hot and a ground


edit= the 2 green in the middle is the ground on each side a wire goes to each pole of the breaker
 
Yeh ground is in the middle, but does it not matter which way round the live and neutral are?

no it doesnt they both will carry 110v from the 2 pole breaker I was that you were in EU from the product page you linked.
I run my ballast here in the usa on 220
 
it worrrys me when you say neutral here is why it doesnt carry a current and 2 pole breakers have current on both poles of the breaker

edit = line and hot will let people know a 2 pole 220v breaker is needed
 
We have live(brown) neutral (blue) and earth (green/yellow) from our power points

I guess as long as it's earthed it should be fine
