In the opening post:You cannot use the existing 3 wire dryer circuit to add a sub panel as it requires 4 wires.
In the garage at the moment is one 220V outlet, four prong, for a dryer.

Need a joed or JV or brric or somebody to comment:Here's the electrical question....
1) Is it acceptable to provide the 110V to the outlets by using one of the two hot legs of the 220V, or do I need to pull a three conductor wire for the 110V in addition to the wire for the 220V outlet?
2) Since the RAS has only a three-pin plug, Hot-A, Hot-B and Ground, is there any reason to even pull 4-conductor wire for the 220V if I pull separate wire for the 110V? Obviously if I can use one of the hot legs of the 220V for my 110V then I have to pull four conductor because I need the common neutral, but if I can'y can I just use three conductor wire for both?
Thanks for your help,
Richard
