Hot water heater wiring?

I am replacing my hot water heater with one almost identical to the old one.The old one had a black and a red and a ground wire. The new one is the same. They are both 50 gal electric. The new one trips the breaker(basically it won’t even let it engage). I assume my water heater is bad. It is a dual element like the old one was. Of course I am filling the heater with water before I try the breaker. The wiring in my house has a black and a white and a ground. I hooked the black to black and the white to red and the ground to the green ground screw on the heater. I also verified that the ground from the heater was secured tightly. I looked on the info labels of both heaters and verified that they are the same. I forgot to mention that the old one did work just fine but it was 15 years old and time had taken its toll on it. I figured that it was just a matter of time before it gave me trouble and I was remodeling the area where it is located. The house is actually an old mobile home that I bought and am remodeling so I can move to the country. What kind of voltages should I read between the black and white and ground wires in the trailer? I think it read about 240v between the black and the white. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me.
