| Apr 19, 2020 at 17:50 | comment | added | George Anderson | Are the two existing runs cable in conduit or individual wires? Also, what are you planning on running that you need 240v for? That it's such a short run it wouldn't be too costly to re-run a 4 wire service with larger conductors. All depends upon size of conduit, and amperage needs. | |
