So what you mean is me to use a single screw terminals right, but could you help me with finding one for 250V,20Amps, as I couldn’t find 1*1 for this specifications
@3Dogs, no that last screenshot is quite wrong. Note that the pad number for that terminal has two pads, but both with the same pad number. This footprint only has one screw in the center and it is for only one wire connection. Both the pads must be connected to the same net.
The terminal I selected, has 4 pads on the PCB, but the terminal itself is a single solid block of metal. The 4 prongs are for a stronger connection to the PCB, and to divide the high current.
Here is another one with 9 prongs, all for the single connection terminal:
I was just a conceptual example.
It would be nice if you post an example that works, so it is actually useful instead of confusing.
Could I use that 4 pads thing for my project, but I need to use two of them right, one for connecting the live wire and another for neutral wire
For specifications, you have to read the datasheets. That is an important part of PCB design. For proper PCB design, you have to pay attention to a lot of small details.
If you want to use the type of terminals I have shown, then you can use any 1 pin connector for the schematic for each of the terminals. There are also terminal strips with multiple connections that are fit for 250Vac 20A, but you have to select one carefully.
do you use any website to find those ?, because i try to apply all filters and search in few manufacturers shop and I couldn’t find.
Sorry for the silly questions again and again bro, as I need to send the gerber files to my professor within two days. So if I use the one you uploaded above,Then I need to use a single copper zone surrounding four pins and connect the trace to the zone right ? As I used two 1*2 terminal block, now I should use 4 of them of what you uploaded right
With two days left you have plenty of time to read some datasheets 
You can start the track from any of the pads, but DRC will only be happy if all the pads are connected. Adding a zone around the footprint is indeed probably a good idea.
Please could you help me find one bro 
, I am very tensed and unable to find, so if you help me find one asap(Through_hole if possible), It would take time for me to create a custom footprint for it to, I would be very much thankful to you if you could help me.
but how will i connect it in the schematic window as the symbol will have 4 pins ?
Just try it!
That takes less time than writing your post and responding.
If you encounter problems, then ask a question, but first show some initiative yourself.
I will finish the schematic by myself, but would you please help me find one terminal , one like you uploaded above but a through_hole one.
Finding suitable components to use for a project is not part of the function of this forum.

It was just a request for help to build it on kicad from a beginner
@Chandu45 ,
This is my personal opinion:
I’m sorry, but I’m not prepared to help any beginner design a PCB that will accept and then measure mains power. Especially if the project has to be completed within two days.
The consequences of making any mistakes are too great.
You need to do some serious learning about mains electricity, PCB design and the Kicad program before you attempt a project such as this.
I am just designing the ckt bro, its already designed, just need a suitable single 1*1 terminal block to complete the design in kicad, soldering and measuring will be taken care by my professor, Please help me find one to fit it in my kicad design, Mr. Paul gave an example Wuerth_REDCUBE-THR_WP-THRBU_74650073_THR, which just handles current, I need for 20amps current and 250V.
Hello bro, please could you help me find one for 250V,20Amps, I tried but couldn’t find the proper one, please help me its emergency

but where should i search for the components bro, I tried many manufacturer’s website, so please at least let me know where can I search for them
